چکیده
We obtain new H I and 13CO images around supernova remnants Kes 69 and G21.5−0.9. By comparing H I spectra with 13CO emission spectra, we significantly revise the kinematic distance for Kes 69 to ∼5.5 kpc, which was 11.2 kpc, and refine the kinematic distance for G21.5−0.9 to ∼4.8 kpc. For Kes 69, the highest velocity of absorption is ∼86 km s−1 and a prominent H I emission feature at ∼112 km s−1 has no respective absorption. These new results suggest that Kes 69 is associated with a newly detected extended 1720-MHz OH maser at velocity of ∼85 km s−1 that originates from within the bright southern radio shell of Kes 69. For G21.5−0.9, the highest velocity of absorption is ∼67 km s−1. The H I absorption spectra of the nearby bright source PMN J1832−1035 and Kes 69 show a common absorption feature at velocity of ∼69 km s−1, which is not seen for G21.5−0.9. The resulting velocity of ∼68 km s−1 gives the best distance estimate of ∼4.8 kpc for G21.5−0.9 and associated young pulsar J1833−1034.

Supernova remnant (SNR) Kes 69 is morphologically characterized by brightened radio, infrared, and X-ray emission on the southeastern rim, with the 1720 MHz OH masers detected in the northeastern and southeastern regions at various local standard rest (LSR) velocities. We have performed a millimeter observation in CO and HCO lines toward Kes 69. From the northeastern compact maser region, CO an...

Context. The field just West of the galactic supernova remnant W28 (l=6.4 o , b=-0.2 o) harbors 3 of 5 newly-discovered 1720 OH maser spots and two recently-discovered candidate supernova candidates (one of which is a γ-ray source), as well as several compact and classical HII regions. Aims. To show the interaction of radio supernova remnants with ambient molecular gas in sky field just West of...
متن کاملInverse Compton Emission from Galactic Supernova Remnants: Effect of the Interstellar Radiation Field
The evidence for particle acceleration in supernova shells comes from electrons whose synchrotron emission is observed in radio and X-rays. Recent observations by the HESS instrument reveal that supernova remnants also emit TeV g-rays, long-awaited experimental evidence that supernova remnants can accelerate cosmic rays up to the “knee” energies. Still, uncertainty exists whether these g-rays a...
