supernova remnant radio source A gaseous nebula, the expanding shell ejected by a supernova, and deriving its energy (at least in some cases) from the conversion by the remanent neutron star of its rotational energy into a stream of high-energy particles being continually accelerated in the SNR. About 100 SNRs are known in our Galaxy. Supernova remnants are usually powerful radio sources.

W44 supernova remnant A radio source. It is a supernova remnant less than 0°.5 from the galactic plane. 3 kpc
