摘要
We search for fast-expanding Hi shells associated with Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs) in the longitude range l approximate to 32 degrees to 77 degrees using 21 cm line data from the Inner-Galaxy Arecibo L-band Feed Array (I-GALFA) Hi survey. Among the 39 known Galactic SNRs in this region, we find such Hi shells in 4 SNRs: W44, G54.4-0.3, W51C, and CTB 80. All four were previously identified in low-resolution surveys, and three of those (excluding G54.4-0.3) were previously studied with the Arecibo telescope. A remarkable new result, however, is the detection of Hi emission at both very high positive and negative velocities in W44 from the receding and approaching parts of the Hi expanding shell, respectively. This is the first detection of both sides of an expanding shell associated with an SNR in H I 21 cm emission. The high-resolution I-GALFA survey data also reveal a prominent expanding Hi shell with high circular symmetry associated with G54.4-0.3. We explore the physical characteristics of four SNRs and discuss what differentiates them from other SNRs in the survey area. We conclude that these four SNRs are likely the remnants of core-collapse supernovae interacting with a relatively dense (greater than or similar to 1 cm(-3)) ambient medium, and we discuss the visibility of SNRs in the H I 21 cm line.
