Detection of Linear Polarization in the Radio Remnant of Supernova 1987A

Supernova (SN) 1987A in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has proven to be a unique laboratory within which to investigate particle acceleration in young supernova remnants (SNRs). Here we report the first detection of linear polarization of the supernova's synchrotron emission from imaging obse...
