A High-Sensitivity Search for X-Rays from Supernova Remnants in Aquila

Abstract

We have performed a high-sensitivity scan of the galactic plane from 1 = 706 to 1 = 30 to search for 2-20-keY X-rays from supernova renmants. We report here on the spectra of five X-ray sources detected between 44 and 316 longitude, of which only two might be associated with suggested supernova remnants. Upper limits are presented for the 19 possible supernova remnants scanned in this survey.
