英文摘要 | We analyze the HI absorption profile for TeV supernova remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2 based on updated knowledge of the inner Galaxy's structure. We significantly revise its kinematic distance from the previous similar to 22 kpc to similar to 11.5 kpc, indicating it is in the far 3 kpc arm of the Galactic center. We give a revised age of similar to 1800 yr for G349.7+0.2 which has a low explosion energy of similar to 2.5 x 10(50) erg. This removes G349.7+0.2 from the set of brightest SNRs in radio and X-ray to gamma-ray wavebands and helps us to better understand gamma-ray emission originating from this remnant. However, one needs to use caution when discussing old kinematic distances of Galactic objects (e.g., SNRs, pulsars, and H II regions) in the range of -12 degrees <= l <= 12 degrees with distance estimates of >= 5.5 kpc. |
