X-Ray, Supernova Remnant

Scientific paper

We report the discovery of a new supernova remnant. Following the detection of an extended source in a Swift/XRT exposure in the Galactic plane, we requested a short 5 ks exposure with Chandra. The Swift observation was obtained on 22 February 2011 (observation 00042184001), and the Chandra ACIS-S observation was obtained on 03 June 2011 (observation 13419). If characterized with a circle, the center of the remnant could be approximated with the following coordinates: 13:21:50.9, -63:33:50 (J2000), or (l,b) = 306.309034, -0.891719, with a radius of approximately 110 arcseconds.
