The stellar content of this stellar association, related to the supernova remnant N 157B = SNR 0538-691, was up to now unknown, except for three Wolf-Rayet stars and a few red supergiant candidates. A thorough study based on UBV photometry, spectra of 95 stars and nebular spectra will be described elsewhere (see also Schild et al. in these Proceedings).The outstanding properties of this region are :A. the presence of a shell-shaped supernova, which dominates the thermal radio continuum. It is relatively faint in [OUI], strong in [Sil], [Fe 4658] and He II 4686. The expansion velocity reported by Chu and Kennicutt (1988) is 180 km/s. In addition, many extensions and filaments are found all over a wide area, and possibly there has been more than one supernova responsible.

Abstract We report on CO and H i studies of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant (SNR) G346.6−0.2. We find a wind-blown bubble along the radio continuum shell with an expansion velocity of ∼10 km s−1, which was likely formed by strong stellar winds from the high-mass progenitor of the SNR. The radial velocities of the CO/H i bubbles at V LSR = −82 to −59 km s−1 are also consistent with those of shock-excited 1720 MHz OH masers. The molecular cloud in the northeastern shell shows a high kinetic temperature of ∼60 K, suggesting that shock heating occurred. The H i absorption studies imply that G346.6−0.2 is located on the farside of the Galactic center from us, and the kinematic distance of the SNR is derived to be 11.1 − 0.3 + 0.5 kpc. We find that the CO line intensity has no specific correlation with the electron temperature of recombining plasma, implying that the recombining plasma in G346.6−0.2 was likely produced by adiabatic cooling. With our estimates of the interstellar proton density of 280 cm−3 and gamma-ray luminosity <5.8 × 1034 erg s−1, the total energy of accelerated cosmic rays of W p < 9.3 × 1047 erg is obtained. A comparison of the age–W p relation to other SNRs suggests that most of the accelerated cosmic rays in G346.6−0.2 have escaped from the SNR shell.

ABSTRACT We present the results from the Suzaku X-ray Imaging Spectrometer observation of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant (SNR) HB9 (G160.9+2.6). We discovered recombining plasma (RP) in the western Suzaku observation region and the spectra here are well described by a model having collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) and RP components. On the other hand, the X-ray spectra from the eastern Suzaku observation region are best reproduced by the CIE and non-equilibrium ionization model. We discuss possible scenarios to explain the origin of the RP emission based on the observational properties and concluded that the rarefaction scenario is a possible explanation for the existence of RP. In addition, the gamma-ray emission morphology and spectrum within the energy range of 0.2–300 GeV are investigated using 10 yr of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The gamma-ray morphology of HB9 is best described by the spatial template of radio continuum emission. The spectrum is well fit to a log-parabola function and its detection significance was found to be 25σ. Moreover, a new gamma-ray point source located just outside the south-east region of the SNR’s shell was detected with a significance of 6σ. We also investigated the archival H i and CO data and detected an expanding shell structure in the velocity range of $-10.5$ and $+1.8$ km s−1 that is coinciding with a region of gamma-ray enhancement at the southern rim of the HB9 shell.

AbstractThe bolometric luminosity of LFIR = 2×1012 L⊙ makes ISOSS J 15079+7247 one of the most luminous and unusual galaxies detected by the 170 μm ISOPHOT Serendipity Survey (ISOSS). The detection of CO (1-0) emission identifies a giant elliptical galaxy at redshift z = 0.2136 as the counterpart of the FIR source. The derived high gas mass of 3 × 1010 M⊙ favours the picture that the dust emission is associated with this elliptical galaxy. The ultraluminous IR emission can be explained by a hidden starburst in the center of the elliptical. This is supported by the strength of non-thermal radio continuum emission. The huge dust mass of 5×108 M⊙ corresponds to a visual extinction of AV ~ 1000 mag, being consistent with the non-detection of any signatures of a strong starburst in ISOSS J 15079+7247 in optical spectra.

AbstractWe analyze a high resolution (114″ × 60″) 74 MHz image of the Galactic center taken with the Very Large Array (VLA). We have identified several absorption and emission features in this region, and we discuss preliminary results of two Galactic center sources: the Sgr D complex (G1.1–0.1) and the Galactic center lobe (GCL).The 74 MHz image displays the thermal and nonthermal components of Sgr D and we argue the Sgr D supernova remnant (SNR) is consistent with an interaction with a nearby molecular cloud and the location of the Sgr D Hii region on the near side of the Galactic center. The image also suggests that the emission from the eastern side of the GCL contains a mixture of both thermal and nonthermal sources, whereas the western side is primarily thermal.

In this paper, the integrated continuum radio spectrum of supernova remnant (SNR) W44 was analyzed up to 70 GHz, testing the different emission models that can be responsible for its particular shape. The observations by the Planck space telescope made it possible to analyze the high frequency part of radio emission from SNRs. Although the quality of radio continuum spectrum (a high scatter of data points at same frequencies) prevents us to make definite conclusions, the possibility of spinning dust emission detection towards this remnant is emphasized. In addition, a concave-down feature, due to synchrotron losses, can not be definitely dismissed by the present knowledge of the integrated radio continuum spectrum of this SNR.

AbstractNew radio continuum and spectral line observations of the Galactic radio source G18.95-1.1 are reported. The distance to G18.95-1.1 is 2 kpc as derived from HI-21 cm spectral line observations. These data also indicate an interaction with the interstellar medium. The radio continuum observations classify G18.95-1.1 as a composite supernova remnant.

ABSTRACT The massive star-forming region W75N (B) is thought to host a cluster of massive protostars (VLA 1, VLA 2, and VLA 3) undergoing different evolutionary stages. In this work, we present radio continuum data with the highest sensitivity and angular resolution obtained to date in this region, using the VLA-A and covering a wide range of frequencies (4–48 GHz), which allowed us to study the morphology and the nature of the emission of the different radio continuum sources. We also performed complementary studies with multi-epoch Very Large Array (VLA) data and Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) archive data at 1.3 mm wavelength. We find that VLA 1 is driving a thermal radio jet at scales of ≈0.1 arcsec (≈130 au), but also shows signs of an incipient hypercompact H ii region at scales of ≲1 arcsec (≲1300 au). VLA 3 is also driving a thermal radio jet at scales of a few tenths of arcsec (few hundred of au). We conclude that this jet is shock exciting the radio continuum sources Bc and VLA 4 (obscured Herbig–Haro objects), which show proper motions moving outward from VLA 3 at velocities of ≈112–118 km s−1. We have also detected three new weak radio continuum sources, two of them associated with millimetre continuum cores observed with ALMA, suggesting that these two sources are also embedded young stellar objects in this massive star-forming region.

Aims. HESS J1844-030 is a newly confirmed TeV source in the direction of the X-ray pulsar wind nebula (PWN) candidate G29.4+0.1 and the complex radio source G29.37+0.1, which is likely formed by the superposition of a background radio galaxy and a Galactic supernova remnant (SNR). Many scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin of HESS J1844-030, based on several sources that are capable of producing very high energy radiation. We investigate the possible connection between the SNR, the PWN G29.4+0.1, and HESS J1844-030 to shed light on the astrophysical origin of the TeV emission. Methods. We performed an imaging and spectral study of the X-ray emission from the PWN G29.4+0.1 using archival observations obtained with the Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes. Public radio continuum and HI data were used to derive distance constraints for the SNR that is linked to G29.37+0.1 and to investigate the interstellar medium where it is expanding. We applied a simple model of the evolution of a PWN inside an SNR to analyze the association between G29.4+0.1 and the radio emission from G29.37+0.1. We compared the spectral properties of the system with the population of TeV PWNe to investigate if HESS J1844-030 is the very high energy counterpart of the X-ray PWN G29.4+0.1. Results. Based on the morphology and spectral behavior in the X-ray band, we conclude that G29.4+0.1 is a PWN and that a point source embedded on it is the powering pulsar. The HI data revealed that the SNR linked to G29.37+0.1 is a Galactic source at 6.5 kpc and expanding in a nonuniform medium. From the analysis of the pulsar motion and the pressure balance at the boundary of X-ray emission, we conclude that G29.4+0.1 could be a PWN that is located inside its host remnant, forming a new composite SNR. Based on the magnetic field of the PWN obtained from the X-ray luminosity, we found that the population of electrons producing synchrotron radiation in the keV band can also produce IC photons in the TeV band. This suggests that HESS J1844-030 could be the very high energy counterpart of G29.4+0.1.
