Abstract

Context. Supernova remnants (SNRs) were often discovered in radio surveys of the Galactic plane. Because of the surface-brightness limit of previous surveys, more faint or confused SNRs await discovery. The Sino-German λ6 cm Galactic plane survey is a sensitive survey with the potential to detect new low-surface-brightness SNRs.
