Scientific paper

Two new supernova remnants (SNRs), G85.4+0.7 and G85.9-0.6, superimposed on the radio source W 80, have been discovered in the radio continuum data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey(CGPS). Both SNRs consist of a thin incomplete radio shell surrounding a weak, extended X-ray source. G85.4+0.7 has a thin non-thermal shell of diameter ~0.4o lying within a thermal shell whose diameter is ~0.6o. Its radio surface brightness at 1 GHz is Sigma1 GHz <= 1x 10-22 Watt m-2 Hz-1 sr-1. It is located within a large H I bubble, whose systemic velocity, vLSR = -12 km s-1, implies a distance of 3.8 kpc. Two B1 stars detected within this bubble are most likely part of the OB association which formed it. The diameter of the H I bubble is about 100 pc. The SNR has a diameter of about 30 pc and probably is the result of a type II explosion of an early B star ~6300 years ago. G85.9-0.6 has a radio surface brightness of Sigma1 GHz <= 2x 10-22 Watt m-2 Hz-1 sr-1. No H I features corresponding to the SNR have been detected. This, and the low radio and X-ray brightnesses, suggest expansion in a low-density medium. The SNR may lie in the low-density region between the local and Perseus spiral arms, at a distance of about 5 kpc. Its diameter would then be ~ 35 pc.
