Scientific paper

We have recently undertaken detailed observations of supernova remnant (SNR) G42.8+0.6 with the Arecibo 305-m radio telescope to investigate its possible association with two unusual neutron stars. We have found a patch of OH absorption just below its rim which originates from a molecular cloud that is, most likely, interacting with the SNR. This cloud has curious OH line ratios, far from what is expected for thermal equilibrium. The OH absorption allows us to estimate a lower distance for the SNR of (11±3) kpc. While G42.8+0.6 lies beyond SGR 1900+14 it could be associated with PSR J1907+0918.
