Abstract

We present a serendipitous detection of the infrared-bright supernova remnant (SNR) B0104-72.3 in the Small Magellanic Cloud by the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard AKARI. An elongated, partially complete shell has been detected in all four observed IRC bands, covering 2.6-15 μm. The infrared shell surrounds radio, optical, and X-ray emission associated with the SNR, and is probably a radiative SNR shell. This is the first detection of an SNR shell in this near/mid-infrared waveband in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The IRC color indicates that the infrared emission might be from shocked H₂ molecules with some possible contributions from ionic lines. We conclude that B0104-72.3 is a middle-aged SNR interacting with molecular clouds, similar to the Galactic SNRIC 443. Our results highlight the potential of AKARIIRC observations in studying SNRs, especially for diagnosing SNR shocks.
