Extract

From an assessment of recent high-resolution galactic radio surveys, in the continuum and in the H109oc recombination line, the author has detected or confirmed over 90 non-thermal sources, most likely all supernova remnants.1 The distances to each of these objects have also been estimated, from an empirical surface-brightness linear-size relationship derived from 15 remnants whose distances are known from either a comparison of the radial velocities and proper motions of filaments in the nebula, neutral hydrogen absorption measurements, or association of the remnant with an object of known distance. In this note we wish to remark on the galactic distribution of supernova remnants and the possible association of these objects with pulsars and X-ray sources.
