We universally search for evidence of kinematic and spatial correlation of supernova remnant (SNR) and molecular cloud (MC) associations for nearly all SNRs in the coverage of the MWISP CO survey, i.e. 149 SNRs, 170 SNR candidates, and 18…

The supernova remnant (SNR) G25.1-2.3 was identified in the radio band during the Sino-German $\lambda$6 cm survey of the Galactic plane. We present a detailed investigation of the optical, HI, and CO emission towards the G25.1-2.3 to…

We have imaged a 1 deg^2 field centered on the known Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3 at 74, 330, and 1465 MHz with the Very Large Array radio telescope (VLA) and 235 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The 235,…

We obtain new HI and $^{13}$CO images around Supernova Remnants (SNR) Kes 69 and G21.5-0.9. By comparing HI spectra with $^{13}$CO emission spectra, we significantly revise the kinematic distance for Kes 69 to $\sim$ 5.5 kpc, which was 11.2…
