Scientific paper

The distribution of the radio continuum emission of the LMC is examined. The distribution of the spectral index and a reliable spectrum of the radio emission of the LMC are derived using radio continuum surveys of the LMC at 408, 1400, and 2300 MHz. The distribution of the spectral index across the LMC shows a close positional agreement between flat spectrum and H-alpha emitting regions. The total nonthermal radio luminosity is derived, giving a total equipartition magnetic field strength of about 6 microG. Accurate thermal radio flux densities of the most prominent LMC H II complexes are determined.
