ABSTRACT

Huang and Thaddeus 1985

Huang, Y.-L., and P. Thaddeus, 1985: The Σ-D relation for shell-like supernova remnants. Astrophys. J., 295, L13-L16, doi:10.1086/184528.

A large fraction of Galactic supernova remnants, including a dozen shell-like remnants, can be associated with large molecular clouds or cloud complexes with well-determined distances. The Sigma-D relation for these shell-like remnants, derived using distances to the associated molecular clouds, shows substantially smaller scatter than previous relations and establishes a good distance scale for shell-like remnants from Type II events.
