A High-Energy Catalogue of Galactic Supernova Remnants and Pulsar Wind Nebulae. (arXiv:1210.5264v1 [astro-ph.GA]):
Motivated by the wealth of past, existing, and upcoming X-ray and gamma-ray
missions, we have developed the first public database of high-energy
observations of all known Galactic Supernova Remnants (SNRs):
this http URL The catalogue links to, and
complements, other existing related catalogues, including Dave Green's radio
SNRs catalogue. We here highlight the features of the high-energy catalogue,
including allowing users to filter or sort data for various purposes. The
catalogue is currently targeted to Galactic SNR observations with X-ray and
gamma-ray missions, and is timely with the upcoming launch of X-ray missions
(including Astro-H). We are currently developing the existing database to
include an up-to-date Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe)-dedicated webpage, with the
goal to provide a global view of PWNe and their associated neutron
stars/pulsars. This extensive database will be useful to both theorists to
apply their models or design numerical simulations, and to observers to plan
future observations or design new instruments. We welcome input and feedback
from the SNR/PWN/neutron stars community.
