Abstract
A search for ultra-high energy gamma-rays emitted by the young, nearby supernova remnant that was discovered recently by the COMPTEL and ROSAT satellites was made using the JANZOS database for the period 1987-1993. A 95% confidence upper limit on the flux above 100 TeV of 3x10(-13)cm(-2)sec(-1) was obtained. This is an order of magnitude below the expected flux based on the standard model of cosmic ray acceleration in supernova shocks. An optical survey of the region that has been commenced is also reported. This uses UK and ESO Schmidt plates, and CCD images by a NZ/Japan microlensing group.
