G78.2+2.1 ADS: search fulltext or title/keyword/abstract

DR4, γ Cygni SNR

• Right Ascension: 20 20 50
• Declination: +40 26
• Size (/arcmin): 60
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 320
• Spectral Index: 0.51

Notes: Has been called G78.1+1.8.

Radio: In complex region (early catalogues refer to other proposed remnants in this region).

Optical: Faint filaments, spectra indicate a SNR superposed on a HII region.

X-ray: Weak emission from the SE of the remnant.

Point sources: X-ray pulsar at edge of remnant, with nebula.

Distance: Associations with other objects suggests 1.7 to 2.6 kpc, optical extinction suggests 0.98 kpc.
