Scientific paper

G350.1-0.3 is a very young and bright supernova remnant with an estimated age of 900 years and lies at a distance of 4.5 kpc. The radio continuum emission from the source is coincident with a bright X-ray source seen by XMM. In close proximity to the radio and X-Ray emission, there is a possible a neutron star associated with G350.1-0.3. We are embarking on a multi-wavelength effort to understand this apparently very young object. A key part of this campaign is a search for 1720-MHz OH masers. SNRs such as G350.1-0.3 are thought to be prime candidates for these masers, since the soft X-rays can dissociate water molecules and produce OH. A detection of the 1720-MHz OH line acts as direct evidence for interaction with molecular gas, and also provides a good distance estimate to the system. Furthermore, using the radio continuum emission from the second IF we will probe the magneto-ionic properties of the SNR by making Faraday Rotation Measure synthesis maps.
