Description
We present a new radio detection associated with the reflection nebula VdB-80 (nicknamed Lagotis). Reflection nebulae are typically associated with reflection of starlight off gas and dust in the optical range, making the detection of radio emission unique and interesting. This radio-continuum emission was discovered in the ASKAP EMU survey. The reflection nebula is situated in the 'Crossbones' filamentary structure in the Mon R2 molecular cloud. This source has previously been suggested to support a \HII\ region, which we explore with radio and infrared data.
