New Distances to Four Supernova Remnants [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1712.04515


Distances are found for four supernova remnants SNRs without previous distance measurements. HI spectra and HI channel maps are used to determine the maximum velocity of HI absorption for four supernova remnants (SNRs). We examined $^{13}$CO emission spectra and channel maps to look for possible molecular gas associated with each SNR, but did not find any. The resulting distances for the SNRs are $3.5 \pm 0.2$ kpc (G$24.7+0.6$), $4.7 \pm 0.3$ kpc (G$29.6+0.1$) , $ 4.1 \pm 0.5$ kpc (G$41.5+0.4$) and $4.5\pm 0.4 – 9.0 \pm 0.4$ kpc (G$57.2+0.8$).
