Scientific paper

Four small-diameter supernova remnants are found to coincide or nearly coincide with three COS-B gamma-ray sources. These associations are probably not fortuitous; the gamma rays could arise from a remnant pulsar or from cosmic ray interactions near the remnant. The compactness of the associations suggests that the supernova remnants have ages no greater than about 20,000 years.
