Supernova remnant G107.0+9.0 radio images

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The vast majority of Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) were detected by their synchrotron radio emission.

Description

Recently, the evolved SNR G107.0+9.0 with a diameter of about 3D or 75pc up to 100pc in size was optically detected with an indication of faint associated radio emission. This SNR requires a detailed radio study.

We searched for radio emission from SNR G107.0+9.0 by analysing new data from the Effelsberg 100-m and the Urumqi 25-m radio telescopes in addition to available radio surveys. Radio SNRs outside of the Galactic plane, where confusion is rare, must be very faint if they have not been identified so far. Guided by the H{alpha} emission of G107.0+9.0, we separated its radio emission from the Galactic large-scale emission.

Radio emission from SNR G107.0+9.0 is detected between 22MHz and 4.8GHz with a steep non-thermal spectrum, which confirms G107.0+9.0 as an SNR. Its surface brightness is among the lowest known for Galactic SNRs. Polarised emission is clearly detected at 1.4GHz but is fainter at 4.8GHz.

We interpret the polarised emission as being caused by a Faraday screen associated with G107.0+9.0 and its surroundings. Its ordered magnetic field along the line of sight is below 1-microG. At 4.8GHz, we identified a depolarised filament along the western periphery of G107.0+9.0 with a magnetic field strength along the line of sight B_parallel_~15-microG, which requires magnetic field compression.

G107.0+9.0 adds to the currently small number of known, evolved, large-diameter, low-surface-brightness Galactic SNRs. We have shown that such objects can be successfully extracted from radio-continuum surveys despite the dominating large-scale diffuse Galactic emission.
