Three possible associations are listed in Table A.9. "This is a list of astronomical objects, extracted from catalogs of plausible counterparts,
which are are found to be spatially coincident with the HGPS source":
- G348.7+0.3 (SNR)
- CXOU J171405.7−381031 (EXTRA)
- J1714−3810 (PSR)
"EXTRA associations: For completeness, in addition to the associations obtained through the catalog-based, automatic procedure, we add a list of 20 extra
associated objects that are plausible counterparts for some HGPS sources and are not covered by the limited set of catalogs we use."
Source position and its uncertainty:
From
Aharonian et al. (2006):
- l: 348.65 +/- 0.03 (deg)
- b: +0.38 +/- 0.03 (deg)
- R.A. (deg): 258.49 (Convert to HMS: 17 13 57.6)
- Dec. (deg): -38.20 (Convert to HMS: -38 12 00)
Source Extent:
From
Aharonian et al. (2006):
- radius: 0.06 +/- 0.04 deg
Distance:
From
Tian & Leahy (2012):
- "CTB 37B is at a distance of ~13.2 kpc (previously 5 to 9 kpc)"
From
Horvarth & Allen (2011)
- "As in many other cases, the distance to the remnant is uncertain
(10.2 +/- 3.5kpc;
Caswell et al. 1975). It seems safe to assume, taking
the angular diameter and the smallest value of the distance range,
that R > 10pc, and possibly a figure as big as 20pc for the largest
distance scale."
