SNR J0519–6902 (also known as LHG 26 or MC SNR J0519–6902) is a supernova remnant (SN) located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) approximately 160,000 light years from Earth. It likely originated from a progenitor star with a mass of 1.2 to 4.0 solar masses. While it’s initial explosion has ended, it may possess some wind bubble activity.[1][2]
It has a diameter of 8 parsecs and exhibits a ring like morphology in radio waves. There are three bright spot regions located to the north, east and south of the supernova remnant. There is a Hi cloud that may be associated with the remnant located in the southeastern part.[2]
