摘要: This paper presents the results of 2009-2010 monitoring sessions starburst galaxy M82, obtained with Multi-Element Radio-Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) at 5GHz and e-MERLIN 6GHz. Combining several MERLIN epochs to form a map 33.0 uJy/bm noise level, 52 discrete sources, mostly supernova remnants HII regions, are identified. These include three objects which were not detected in 2002 session: SN2008iz, transient source 43.78+59.3, new remnant shell. Flux density variations, long (1981 2010), medium (2002 2010) short (2009 term, investigated. We find that flux densities SNRs M82 stay constant most sample (~95%). In addition, aside from SN2008iz well-known variable 41.95+57.5, two sources display term variations over period 2009-2010. being among compact SNR these could be due changes circumstellar interstellar shocks travel.
