OBSERVATIONS OF SUPERNOVA-REMNANTS INTERACTING WITH H-II REGIONS

Large H II regions formed by rich OB stellar associations are suspecte d to be sites of SN explosions. In most cases, the characteristic emis sion of the resulting supernova remnants (SNRs) is masked by the stron ger H II region emission. In those cases, other SNR identification tec hniques are required. Here we present the application of one of these techniques (kinematic identification) to the detection of several SNRs inside the large H II regions N19 and N66 in the Small Magellanic Clo ud. Similar observations are suggested for galactic nebulae of similar properties.
