Optical observations of the supernova remnant G 69.4+1.2.

Abstract (from CDS):

We performed deep optical observations of the area of the new supernova remnant G 69.4+1.2 in the emission lines of [OIII], Hα+[NII] and [SII]. The low ionization images reveal diffuse and filamentary emission in the central and south, south-west areas of our field. Estimates of the [SII]/Hα ratio suggest that the detected emission in these areas originates from shock heated gas, while the strong extended source in the north must be an HII region. The medium ionization image of [OIII] shows a single filament close to the field center. Emission from [OIII] is not detected elsewhere in the field but only in the north from LBN 069.96+01.35. Deep long-slit spectra taken at the position of the [OIII] filament suggest shock velocities ∼120km/s, while in other areas velocities around 50km/s are expected. The sulfur lines ratio indicates electron densities less than 120cm–3. The absolute Hα flux is ∼5x10–17erg. s–1.cm–2.arcsec–2. The optical emission is very well correlated with the radio emission, especially in the south west. The soft X-ray emission detected in the ROSAT All-Sky survey shows a satisfactory degree of correlation with the optical data in the south-west suggesting their association.
