Abstract
A galaxy is made up of a number of different ingredients: stars, gas, magnetic fields and cosmic rays. This talk will be about observations of the radio continuum emission from the Magellanic Clouds which is produced by the synchrotron mechanism when the last two ingredients are mixed together. Measurements of the intensity, spectra, and polarization of this radio emission can tell us something about these two invisible constituents which we know from radio observations of our Galaxy are found both in extended regions (spiral arms) and in discrete sources (supernova remnants).
