SMCSNR-fig2

Three colour composite image of the supernova remnant B0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud by the Infrared Camera onboard AKARI (Blue: 4 micrometres, Green: 7 micrometres, Red: 11 micrometres). The pair of arcs in the central part of the image is the supernova remnant extended over a region of 60x100 light years. The white bar in the bottom-left corner indicates a length of 30 light years.
