Radio Continuum of the Small Magellanie Cloud at Wavelengths 6 and 3·4 cm

Abstract

The radio continuum at wavelength 6 cm has been surveyed in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud with a telescope beam of 4'·1 arc. Only 27 radio sources have been delineated in this galaxy, and details of their positions, flux densities and spectral indices are given. Some supporting observations were made of the stronger sources at 3·4 cm wavelength. The distribution of the 6 cm emission is compared with the distributions of the ionized gas and neutral hydrogen.
