1. Radiation studies from gamma-rays to radio in Galactic and Extragalactic SNRs

1st Abstract

In this paper we analyse statistical properties of optical supernova
remnant (SNR) candidates in nearby galaxies from a catalogue compiled by
Vucetic et al. (2015). Although, there are more than 1000 optical SNRs
detected, it seems that the number is still insufficient to draw firmer
conclusions about their evolution. Some parameters (such as angular
diameters and distances) are still poorly determined. We conclude that a
combination of multiwavelength observations is necessary to improve the
statistics of SNRs.
