The MOST Galactic Centre Survey-III. Images of new candidate supernova remnants

Abstract

The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOS T) has recently been used to make an 843-MHz survey of the Galactic Centre region. A previous paper in this series discussed the new data on 11 objects within the survey boundaries which were already known or suspected to be supernova remnants. This paper discusses 17 new objects identified in the survey as candidate SNRs, primarily on the basis of thermal/non-thermal separations performed on the survey data. An image of each object is presented, along with a brief discussion of its properties.
