Distances of Galactic Supernova Remnants Using Red Clump Stars

S. S. Shan, H. Zhu, W. W. Tian +4

We carry out a project to independently measure the distances of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the first quadrant of the Galaxy. In this project, red clump (RC) stars are used as st…

How does the stellar wind influence the radio morphology of a supernova remnant?

M. F. Zhang, W. W. Tian, D. Wu

We simulate the evolutions of the stellar wind and the supernova remnant (SNR) originating from a runaway massive star in an uniform Galactic environment based on the three-dimensi…

Disentangling the radio emission of the supernova remnant W51C

M. F. Zhang, W. W. Tian, D. A. Leahy +3

We simulate the evolution of supernova remnant (SNR) W51C. The simulation shows the existence of a new northeast edge. We present magnetic field structure of the W51 complex (SNR W…

Kinematic Distance of Galactic Planetary Nebulae

A. Y. Yang, W. W. Tian, H. Zhu +2

We construct \HI~absorption spectra for 18 planetary nebulae (PNe) and their background sources using the data from the International Galactic Plane Survey. We estimate the kinemat…

SNR G349.7+0.2: A gamma-ray source in the far 3 kpc arm of the Galactic center

W. W. Tian, D. A Leahy

We analyze the HI absorption profile for TeV Supernova Remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2 based on updated knowledge of the inner Galaxy's structure. We significantly revise its kinematic di…

High velocity HI is not associated with TeV supernova remnant W51C

W. W. Tian, D. A. Leahy

The recently-detected TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1923+141 coincides with Supernova Remnant (SNR) W51C and the star forming region W51B of the W51 complex. We construct HI absorptio…
