High resolution maps of the Galactic radio source CTB80 at three different frequencies are presented. A new interpretation in terms of a cosmic collision between two SNRs of different age is suggested.
CTB80 is one of the most mystifying Galactic Objects yet discovered and has recently attracted considerable attention from X-ray, optical and radio astronomers (see for example: Becker et al. (1981), Angerhofer et al. (1980, 1981), Velusamy et al. (1976), van den Bergh (1980).
The present observations of the radio continuum emission of the extended feature at 408 MHz, 1720 MHz and 4750 MHz and the linearly polarized emission at 1720 MHz and 4750 MHz (Figs 1,2,3) throw new light on the morphological, spectral and polarization properties of the whole source.
