Scientific paper

Preliminary observation results for SNRs in the LMC are presented, and the current status of programs investigating these observational data is assessed. High Resolution Imager maps indicate that the remnant diameters used in early rate calculations were systematically underestimated. A preliminary SN rate of 1/110-350 years is derived upon reconsideration of these data. It is noted that most of the remnants detected in the LMC have very soft spectra, and would be undetectable as X-ray sources at distances of 5-10 kpc in the galactic plane.
