Brightness distributions and flux densities at 8�8 GHz are presented for 12 small-diameter radio sources near the galactic plane. Each of these sources has been classified at one time or another as a supernova remnant. For one source, G295� 2 - 0�6, the flux density at 8�8 GHz confirms the thermal spectrum suggested by lower frequency measurements and indicates that it is not a supernova remnant. Another source, G309� 6+ 1�7, is thought to be extragalactic.

Radio evidence for two new supernova remnants in the Southern Milky Way is presented. Some new observations of the known supernova remnant, source 1439-62, and of the Rosette nebula, a shell source but not a supernova remnant, are also presented. The problem of finding model shells to fit the radio observations is considered and it is shown that the radio emission from 1439-62 is unlikely to originate in a shell with spherical symmetry.

A catalogue of 'smaIl-diameter' galactic radio sources observed at a frequency of 408 MHz with the Molonglo radiotelescope is presented. The catalogue covers an area of 0�40 sr enclosed in the range [II = 190�-360�-50�, 1 bIll..;; 3�. The sources listed are those which show no significant broadening of the ~ 3' arc aerial beam. Small-diameter features bounded or confused by extended regions of emission are not included. A total of 513 sources are listed above a flux density of O' 6 Jy. While most of these are expected to be extragalactic, the list includes some known pulsars and small-diameter HII regions. The catalogue should form a useful search list for the identification of other such galactic objects.

Context. Large-scale radio continuum surveys provide data to get insights into the physical properties of radio sources. H II regions are prominent radio sources produced by thermal emission of ionised gas around young massive stars. Aims. We identify and analyse H II regions in the Sino-German λ6 cm polarisation survey of the Galactic plane. Methods. Objects with flat radio continuum spectra together with infrared and/or Hα emission were identified as H II regions. For H II regions with small apparent sizes, we cross-matched the λ6 cm small-diameter source catalogue with the radio H II region catalogue compiled by Paladini and the infrared H II region catalogue based on the WISE data. Effelsberg λ21 cm and λ11 cm continuum survey data were used to determine source spectra. High angular resolution data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey were used to solve the confusion when low angular resolution observations were not sufficient. Extended H II regions were identified by eye by overlaying the Paladini and the WISE H II regions onto the λ6 cm survey images for coincidences. The TT-plot method was employed for spectral index verification. Results. A total of 401 H II regions were identified and their flux densities were determined with the Sino-German λ6 cm survey data. In the surveyed area, 76 pairs of sources are found to be duplicated in the Paladini H II region catalogue, mainly due to the non-distinction of previous observations with different angular resolutions and 78 objects in their catalogue are misclassified as H II regions, being actually planetary nebulae, supernova remnants, or extragalactic sources that have steep spectra. More than 30 H II regions and H II region candidates from our λ6 cm survey data, especially extended ones, do not have counterparts in the WISE H II region catalogue, of which 9 are identified for the first time. Our results imply that some more Galactic H II regions still await to be discovered and the combination of multi-domain observations is important for H II region identification. Based on the newly derived radio continuum spectra and the evidence of infrared emission, the previously identified SNRs G11.1−1.0, G20.4+0.1 and G16.4−0.5 are believed to be H II regions.

A catalogue of 38 supernova remnants (SNRs) identified in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds from X-ray, optical and radio observations has recently been presented by Mills et al. (1984). One important consideration is the completeness of this catalogue and of the Galactic catalogues with which it is compared. These are currently being investigated.

The results of a survey of radio sources in the galactic plane in the longitude range 1800 to 400 with the 1 mile Molonglo Cross telescope at 408 MHz are presented. The methods of observation and reduction are described briefly. The catalogue lists the position, flux density, size, and spectral index for 80 sources

Radio observations with high sensitivity have shown that lots of more or less compact structures can be found in the field of extended and old supernova remnants (SNRs). These small diameter sources have been subject to many recent observations. The aim of these studies is to infer a possible physical association of these sources with the SNR shell. The interest in this link is based on various aspects, instabilities of shocked interstellar matter, star formation, etc.

Data from the Effelsberg Galactic plane survey at 11 cm wavelength have been used to produce a survey of polarized intensity in the first Galactic quadrant. Besides polarized sources (Supernova remnants and extragalactic objects) extended polarized emission features are visible, which are not connected to distinct radio sources. To decide whether these features reflect characteristics of the local field or the distant spiral structure of the Galaxy we performed an integration of polarized intensities as a function of Galactic longitude. An anticorrelation with the thermal background component suggests a distance of more than 6 kpc for some components of the polarized emission. This enables us to derive an upper limit for the uniform component of the Galactic magnetic field.

AbstractThe most sensitive X-ray survey available is a deep exposure made by theEinstein Observatoryof a 40 arcmin field in the southern constellation of Pavo. This survey revealed 33 X-ray sources, most of which were optically identified with quasars. Here, we report radio observations of the Pavo region at 843 MHz made with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope. Eight overlapping fields were combined to produce the most sensitive radio map of the region to date, revealing 33 radio sources above a flux density of 2.4 mJy. Only one of these radio sources corresponded to an X-ray object: a quasar atz= 1.13. We also used the Parkes-Tidbinbilla Interferometer, at 2.29 GHz and 8.41 GHz, to observe some of the stronger radio sources.From these multi-wavelength observations of the Pavo field it is apparent that, to the sensitivity of the surveys involved, (i) there is little correlation between X-ray and radio detections, and (ii) most of the X-ray sources have optical counterparts while few of the radio ones do, and (iii) there is some confirmation that X-ray emission is higher for objects with flat radio spectra (i.e., a dominant core) than for steep spectrum sources.
