Neutral hydrogen around young Supernova remnants . ... While researching the HI distribution around the Supernova remnants we have found 4 broad (diameter 70-300 ps) and hence old (age 2-9 mln. years) HI envelopes around the Supernova remnants having, characteristics of plerions, i.e. obviously young objects with ages of the 1000 - 10000 years. ...
