G27.4+0.0     4C−04.71

• Right Ascension: 18 41 19
• Declination: −04 56
• Size (/arcmin): 4
• Type: S
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 6
• Spectral Index: 0.68

Notes: Early references refer to G27.3−0.1 (Kes 73), a supposed larger remnant.

Radio: Incomplete shell.

X-ray: Diffuse emission, with central low period pulsar.

Point sources: Central AXP.

Distance: HI absorption suggests 7.5 to 9.8 kpc.
