| 1st Abstract | We present the first CCD images of the VRO 42.05.01 (G 166.0+4.3) supernova remnant in Hα+[N II], [O III] 5007 and [S II] at a moderate angular resolution. Low and high-dispersion spectroscopy was also performed at selected areas around this extended remnant. Diagnostic diagrams of the line intensities from the present spectra and the new kinematical observations both confirm the supernova origin. Taking into account our results (i.e. shock velocities, morphological characteristics etc.) together with observations of other wavelengths (i.e. radio), we provide new significant information on the interaction between this SNR and the surrounding Interstellar medium (ISM). |
