| Abstract: |
A survey utilizing the Very Large Array is underway to identify a large sample of radio supernova remnants (SNRs) in nearby galaxies. One surprising result of this survey, as opposed to some of the optical and X-ray searches in these galaxies, is the empirical observation that the radio SNRs are strongly correlated with star forming regions and appear to be associated with the massive star population. This implies that most of the radio SNRs are of SNe Type II/Ib/c origin, which are thought to be the progenitors of pulsars. The steep spectrum SNR sources identified in this survey are good candidates in which to search for pulsars. |
