abstract: 'We report the progress to date from an ongoing unbiased ultraviolet survey of supernova remnants in the Magellanic Clouds using the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer ($\fuse$) satellite. Earlier work with $\fuse$ and other instruments has indicated that optical and/or X-ray characteristics of supernova remnants are not always good predictors of their brightness in the ultraviolet. This survey is obtaining spectra of a random large sample of Magellanic Cloud supernova remnants with a broad range of radio, optical, and X-ray properties. We proposed 39 objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud and 11 objects from the Small Magellanic Cloud, with a standard request of 10 ks per object using the $\fuse$ 30 square aperture. To date, 39 objects have been observed in the survey (38 in the LMC and one in the SMC) and 15 have been detected, a detection rate of nearly 40%. Our survey has nearly tripled the number of UV-detected SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds (from 8 to 22). Because of the diffuse source sensitivity of $\fuse$, upper limits on non-detected objects are quite sensitive in many cases, dependent upon night observing fraction and whether stellar light contamination plays a role for a given object.
