High-resolution radio observations of SNR 1987A at high frequencies

We present new imaging observations of the remnant of Supernova (SN) 1987A at 44 GHz, performed in 2011 with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The $0\farcs35\times0\farcs23$ resolution of the diffraction-limited image is the highest achieved to date in high-dynamic range. We also present a new ATCA image at 18 GHz derived from 2011 observations, which is super-resolved to $0\farcs25$. The flux density is 40$\pm$2 mJy at 44 GHz and 81$\pm$6 mJy at 18 GHz. At both frequencies, the remn...
