| 1st Abstract | We have discovered a new SNR in the Galactic Anticentre at a Galactic latitude of about $10degr$ with the DRAO synthesis telescope at 21-cm. Here we report on follow-up Effelsberg observations at 6-cm. This shell-type SNR is almost circular with a diameter of about 1.5degr. Its radio surface brightness is extremely low and it is highly linearly polarized. High-velocity HI-gas from the ‘anti-centre shell’ seems associated, which places the SNR at a distance between 0.5~kpc and 2.5~kpc. |
