Abstract

Young supernova remnants are poorly understood and few are known. Further examples may be present, but unrecognised, within existing catalogues of radio sources. G274.68–2.84 was recently suggested as one such candidate but our new radio map from the Australia Telescope indicates that it is not a supernova remnant. Rather, it appears to be extragalactic with a strong, variable, flat-spectrum nucleus, and a bright X-ray counterpart.
