New candidate radio supernova remnants detected in the GLEAM survey over $345^{\circ }<l<60^{\circ }$, $180^{\circ }<l<240^{\circ }$

Abstract

We have detected 27 new supernova remnants (SNRs) using a new data release of the GLEAM survey from the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) telescope, including the lowest surface-brightness SNR ever detected, G0.1-9.7. Our method uses spectral fitting to the radio continuum to derive spectral indices for 26/27 candidates, and our low-frequency observations probe a steeper-spectrum population than previously discovered. None of the candidates have coincident Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mid-IR emission, further showing that the emission is non-thermal. Using pulsar associations we derive physical properties for six candidate SNRs, finding G0.1-9.7 may be younger than 10kyr. 60% of the candidates subtend areas larger than 0.2deg${}^2$ on the sky, compared to $<25$% of previously-detected SNRs. We also make the first detection of two SNRs in the Galactic longitude range $220^{\circ }-240^{\circ }$.
