Abstract
Supernova remnants (SNRs) provide fundamental information about stellar evolution and the properties of the interstellar medium. The galactic sample of optical SNRs is large, but severely limited by obscuration, and distances and sizes for these remnants remain uncertain. Extragalactic surveys provide samples for which sizes are more easily determined and for which obscuration is less vexing. Over 70 SNRs have previously been identified in local group galaxies; the largest sample consisting of the 25 remnants in the LMC (MATHEWSON et al. [1]). Here we describe the results from the first stage of our survey of M33. These results are based on the atlas of SNRs and candidates by LONG et al. [2].
