A Statistical Analysis of Galactic Radio Supernova Remnants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract We present a revised table of 390 Galactic radio supernova remnants (SNRs) and their basic parameters. Statistical analyses are performed on SNR diameters, ages, spectral indices, Galactic heights, and spherical symmetries. Furthermore, the accuracy of distances estimated using the Σ–D relation is examined. The arithmetic mean of the Galactic SNR diameters is 30.5 pc with standard error 1.7 pc and standard deviation 25.4 pc. The geometric mean and geometric standard deviation factor of Galactic SNR diameters is 21.9 pc and 2.4, respectively. We estimate ages of 97 SNRs and find a supernova (SN) birth rate lower than, but within 2 σ of, currently accepted values for the SN birth rate. The mean spectral index of shell-type SNRs is −0.51 ± 0.01 and no correlations are found between spectral indices and the SNR parameters of molecular cloud association, SN type, diameter, Galactic height, and surface brightness. The Galactic height distribution of SNRs is best described by an exponential distribution with a scale height of 48 ± 4 pc. The spherical symmetry measured by the ovality of radio SNRs is not correlated to any other SNR parameters considered here or to explosion type.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
