dc.descriptionIdentified radio supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Galaxy comprise an incomplete sample of the SNR population due to various selection effects. ROSAT performed the first all-sky survey with an imaging X-ray telescope, and thus provides another window for finding SNRs and compact objects that may reside within them. Performing a search for extended X-ray sources in the ROSAT all-sky survey database about 350 objects were identified as SNR candidates in recent years (Busser 1998). Continuing this systematic search, we have reanalysed the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) data of these candidates and correlated the results with radio surveys like NVSS, ATNF, Molonglo and Effelsberg. A further correlation with SIMBAD and NED was performed for subsequent identification purposes. About 50 of the 350 candidates turned out to be likely galaxies or clusters of galaxies. We found 14 RASS sources which are very promising SNR candidates and are currently subject of further follow-up studies. We will provide the details of the identification campaign and present first results.
