The SNR candidates were detected by applying [SII]/H$\\alpha$ ratio criterion to observations made with the 2-m RCC telescope at Rozhen National Astronomical Observatory in Bulgaria. In this paper we report coordinates, diameters, H$\\alpha$ and [SII] fluxes for detected objects across the two fields of view in NGC 2366 galaxy. Using archival XMM-Newton observations we suggest possible X-ray counterparts of two optical SNR candidates. Also, we discard classification of two previous radio SNR candidates in this galaxy, since they appear to be background galaxies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-22T21:26:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nearby galaxy ngc", "supernova remnants status", "sii filters", "optical observations", "snr candidates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
