... Einstein data for SNR are available as images on magnetic tape or diskette and as tables of counting rates. ... In seven cases, with coverage from 35% to 90%, we have calculated an HRI rate for the entire SNR by using the observed IPC data and assuming the ratio of HRI to IPC rates was the same for the observed and the unobserved parts of the remnant. ... Positions of the bright bulge sources and remnants in the galactic plane are known and the rates in table 2 are free of the effects of these. ...
