Scientific paper

SN 1006 is the remnant of the brightest supernova ever recorded in human history. However, in radio wavelengths, it is among the faintest of the historical supernova remnants. With a size of about 30 arcmin, this shell-type SNR is one of the most displaced from the Galactic plane. It displays a high degree of bilateral symmetry, with the symmetry axis perpendicular to the Galactic plane. In this talk I will review our present knowledge of SN 1006 based on radio observations since the identification of the radio remnant four decades ago. I will also present a new high resolution image at 1.4 GHz which combines simultaneous VLA and ATCA observations. This image will be compared to VLA 1991/92 data in order to analyze the expansion undergone by the SNR along a ~12 yr time baseline.
