Abstract
The extended radio source G16.2-2.7 is detected as a new previously uncatal oged Galactic supernova remnant. Its non-thermal radio spectrum has spectra l index alpha = -0.51, with S-nu(1 GHz) = 2.08 Jy, as being measured with t he RATAN-600 radio telescope. The NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) map at 1.4 GHz shows a shell-like bilateral structure. The similar smoothed image from th e Effelsberg survey at 2.7 GHz is discussed. The angular diameter 17' of a circular shell is fitted to brightness peaks meanwhile the outer diameter D -max = 18.'4 and the width Delta R=1' are fitted with the model of a spheri cal optically thin hollow shell. The surface brightness of G16.2-2.7: Sigma (1GHz)= (1 +/- 0.1)10(-21)W Hz(-1)m(-2) sr(-1). The peaks in the shell arcs are highly polarized at 1.4 GHz.
