There are either a near kinematic distance of 5.5 kpc or a far distance of 8.8 kpc for a Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G32.8$-$0.1 derived by using the rotation curve of the Galaxy. Here we make sure that the remnant distance is the farther one 8.8 kpc through solving a group of equations for the shell-type remnants separately at the adiabatic-phase and the radiative-phase. For SNR G346.6$-$0.2 we determine its distance also the farther one 11 kpc rather than the nearer one 5.5 kpc.

We present the first dedicated X-ray study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G32.8-0.1 (Kes 78) with Suzaku. X-ray emission from the whole SNR shell has been detected for the first time. The X-ray morphology is well correlated with the emission from the
radio shell, while anti-correlated with the molecular cloud found in the SNR field. The X-ray spectrum shows not only conventional low-temperature (kT ~ 0.6 keV) thermal emission in a non-equilibrium ionization state, but also a very high temperature (kT ~ 3.4 keV) component with a very low ionization timescale (~ 2.7e9 cm^{-3}s), or a hard non-thermal component with a photon index Gamma~2.3. The average density of the low-temperature plasma is rather low, of the order of 10^{-3}--10^{-2} cm^{-3}, implying that this SNR is expanding into a low-density cavity. We discuss the X-ray emission of the SNR, also detected in TeV with H.E.S.S., together with multi-wavelength studies of the remnant and other gamma-ray emitting SNRs, such as W28 and RCW 86. Analysis of a time-variable source, 2XMM J185114.3-000004, found in the northern part of the SNR, is also reported for the first time. Rapid time variability and a heavily absorbed hard X-ray spectrum suggest that this source could be a new supergiant fast X-ray transient.
We carry out a comprehensive study of HI 21 cm line observations and $^{13}$CO line observations of 21 supernova remnants (SNRs). The aim of the study is to search for HI absorption features to obtain kinematic distances in a consistent manner. The 2
1 SNRs are in the region of sky covered by the Very Large Array Galactic Plane Survey (HI 21 cm observations) and Galactic Ring Survey ($^{13}$CO line observations). We obtain revised distances for 10 SNRs based on new evidence in the HI and $^{13}$CO observations. We revise distances for the other 11 SNRs based on an updated rotation curve and new error analysis. The mean change in distance for the 21 SNRs is $simeq25%$, i.e. change of 1.5 kpc compared to a mean distance for the sample of 6.4 kpc. This has a significant impact on interpretation of the physical state of these SNRs. For example, using a Sedov model, age and explosion energy scale as the square of distance, and inferred ISM density scales as distance.
We present an X-ray imaging and spectroscopic study of the molecular cloud interacting mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnant (SNR) G346.6-0.2 using XMM-Newton. The X-ray spectrum of the remnant is well described by a recombining plasma that most li
kely arises from adiabatic cooling, and has sub-solar abundances of Mg, Si, and S. Our fits also suggest the presence of either an additional power-law component with a photon index of $sim$2, or an additional thermal component with a temperature of $sim$2.0 keV. We investigate the possible origin of this component and suggest that it could arise from either the Galactic ridge X-ray emission, an unidentified pulsar wind nebula or X-ray synchrotron emission from high-energy particles accelerated at the shock. However, deeper, high resolution observations of this object are needed to shed light on the presence and origin of this feature. Based on its morphology, its Galactic latitude, the density of the surrounding environment and its association with a dense molecular cloud, G346.6-0.2 most likely arises from a massive progenitor that underwent core-collapse.
We carry out a project to independently measure the distances of supernova remnants (SNRs) in the first quadrant of the Galaxy. In this project, red clump (RC) stars are used as standard candles and extinction probes to build the optical extinction (
A$_V$) - distance(D) relation in each direction of extinction-known SNRs. 15 SNRs distances are well determined. Among them, the distances of G65.8-0.5, G66.0-0.0 and G67.6+0.9 are given for the first time. We also obtain 32 upper/lower limits of distances, and the distances to G5.7-0.1, G15.1-1.6, G28.8+1.5 and G78.2+2.1 are constrained. Most of the distances measured by the RC method are consistent with previous results. The RC method provides an independent access to the distances of SNRs.
Distance measurements of supernova remnants (SNRs) are essential and important. Accurate estimates of physical size, dust masses, and some other properties of SNRs depend critically on accurate distance measurements. However, the determination of SNR
distances is still a tough task. Red clump stars (RCs) have a long history been used as standard candles. In this work, we take RCs as tracers to determine the distances to a large group of SNRs in the inner disk. We first select RC stars based on the near-infrared (IR) color-magnitude diagram (CMD). Then, the distance to and extinction of RC stars are calculated. To extend the measurable range of distance, we combine near-IR photometric data from the 2MASS survey with the deeper UKIDSS and VVV surveys. With the help of the Gaia parallaxes, we also remove contaminants including dwarfs and giants. Because an SN explosion compresses the surrounding interstellar medium, the SNR region would become denser and exhibit higher extinction than the surroundings. The distance of a SNR is then recognized by the position where the extinction and its gradient is higher than that of the ambient medium. A total of 63 SNRs distances in the Galactic inner disk are determined and divided into three Levels A, B, and C with decreasing reliability. The distances to 43 SNRs are well determined with reliability A or B. The diameters and dust masses of SNRs are estimated with the obtained distance and extinction.
