Possible relation between spectral index and z-distribution for supernova remnants

OSTI ID:4123946
A statistical relation has been found between spectral index and the mean distance from the galactic plane for supernova remnants. Using z-distances calculated from the $Sigma$-D relationship and the observed spectral indices at radio frequencies for 93 galactic supernova remnants, the mean z-distance is found fo vary from approximately 175 pc to approximately 60 pc for remnants with flat and steep spectra respectively. A possible correlation between flat-spectra supernova remnants and pulsars is discussed. (orig.)
