Atlas of radio, X-ray and optical maps of Galactic SNRs




More 1200 figures are the SNR brightness distributions in radio (mainly), X-rays, and optical band. The nice color images, obtained with ROSAT and Chandra are in this database. Also you could find the X-ray `Einstein' images from Seward's catalog, the optical photos from the atlas by van den Bergh et al. (1973) and Milne's Atlas (1987) of magnetic fields in SNRs.
There are some maps of NEW SNRs in the presented collection. Many new SNRs are in Whiteoak&Green' list and in Duncan's list.
The SNR names and their center coordinates are from Green's (1998) SNRs catalog as a rule or from the original papers.
More than 170 color and contoured 'postage-stamps' of SNR maps from NVSS are incorporated now!
The NVSS figures were received from the MRAO mirror site of the NVSS postage-stamp server as FITS files. The grid and contour overlays were plotted with Skyview 3.3 (IPAC, Rick Ebert et al. 1998) by S. Trushkin.
The same procedure was repeated for Bonn 11 cm survey maps (MPIfR site) (Fuerst et al. 1990, Reich et al. 1990).

The NVSS maps marked by ADS link to the paper '1998AJ....115.1693C' "NRAO VLA Sky Survey" by Condon et al.
You could see the special list of NVSS maps, otherwise they are in the commom lists of SNRs, sorted with Gal. coordinates in the names.
All NVSS maps are in the coordinate system B1950.



Click links in left frame to get a list of the SNR maps.
These lists have the links to NED/ADS bibcodes in second column, thus you could reach the abstracts (ADS service) of papers, what the figures are from.
Note_1: Boundaries of the frames are movable (mode: resize).
Note_2: A few of SNRs (D < 30') are probably not detected in NVSS maps.
Note_3: Sorry, a few figures and ADS-links are absent yet.
The bibcodes of map source, SNR coordinates and other info of SNRs are in 'index.html' files of each SNR.
