Ad. Gray, THE MOST GALACTIC-CENTER SURVEY .2. NEW RESULTS ON PUBLISHED SUPERNOVA-REMNANTS AND G2.4+1.4, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 270(4), 1994, pp. 835-846
Within the boundaries of the recent Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Tel
escope (MOST) 843-MHz survey of the Galactic Centre, there are 10 obje
cts currently believed to be supernova remnants. This paper discusses
the new MOST results on these objects. All but one were found to have
properties consistent with earlier work. The exception, G358.4-1.9, wa
s instead found to have characteristics suggesting a thermal origin. A
lso discussed is G2.4+1.4, a shell-like object which has been reported
to have a non-thermal radio spectrum. This is at odds with other indi
cators which favour a thermal, mass-loss bubble model. The reported sp
ectrum is here shown to be in error, with the new data implying a spec
tral index of alpha=-0.13 (S-v proportional to v(alpha)). This removes
the last existing evidence for a non-thermal radio emission mechanism
for this object.
