Properties of SNR G Identified firstly by the ROSAT observatory in the all- sky survey for X-ray sources Among the 10 brightest X-ray Galactic SNRs The lowest radio surface brightness among all known SNRs Common magnetic field strength & therefore a low electron density
Some Parameters of SNR G Spectral index = 0.5 0.15 (Reich et al. 1992) A distance of d 3kpc (Pfeffermann et al. 1991) A diameter of 108’, or 95pc (Pfeffermann et al. 1991) Type I progenitor SN of E 0 = erg (Reich et al. 1992) An age of 2.6 10 4 yr (Pfeffermann et al. 1991)

Integrated flux densities --by open circle (derived from our observations) --by filled circle (taken from Reich et al. 1992) G Radio spectrum at 4.8 GHz Spectral index = 0.54 0.06
Summary Total flux density is 2.2 0.6 Jy at 4.8GHz Spectral index is = 0.54 0.06 Surface brightness = 2.9 W m -2 Hz -1 sr -1 a t 4.8GHz
