Despite the lack of supernovae observed, multiwavelength radio observations of M82 discovered a considerable number of compact supernova remnant candidates. We use these remnants to estimate the supernova rate (SNR) and the enhanced star-formation (SFR) rate in M82, and compare them with rates in normal galaxies. © 2007 International Astronomical Union. |
