Scientific paper

The visible filaments in IC 443 have been resolved at both radio and optical wavelengths. They appear to have coextensive widths of approximately 4.4 arcsec or about 10 to the 17th cm if the SNR lies at the generally adopted distance of 1.5 kpc. The observations are consistent with a picture in which the filaments are cooling and evaporating interstellar clumps which have been overrun by the expanding supernova blast wave.
