We present a multi-frequency study of the recently discovered supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0-4622 (Vela Z) superimposed on the well-known Vela SNR. The structure of SNR RX J0852.0-4622 is shell-like (barrel-shaped/bilateral) with correlation between radio-continuum, EUV and ROSAT PSPC X-ray emission. The radio-continuum coinciding with X-ray confirms that synchrotron radiation is responsible for the north and south brightened X-ray limbs. The area of RX J0852.0-4622 has filaments of optical line emission in [O III] and [S II], but some of these may be associated with the surrounding Vela SNR.
