Abstract:
While searching the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) for diffuse radio
emission, we have serendipitously discovered extended radio emission
close to the Galactic plane. The radio morphology suggests the
presence of a previously unknown Galactic supernova remnant. An
unclassified gamma-ray source detected by EGRET (3EG J1744-3934) is
present in the same location and may stem from the interaction between
high-speed particles escaping the remnant and the surrounding
interstellar medium.
Our aim is to confirm the presence of a previously unknown supernova
remnant and to determine a possible association with the gamma-ray
emission 3EG J1744-3934.
We have conducted optical and radio follow-ups of the target using the
Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo
Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) and the Giant Meterwave Radio
Telescope (GMRT). We then combined these data with archival radio and
gamma-ray observations.
