Notes. Except for W44, all SNRs are detected at TeV energies.

(a)

Troja et al. (2008) argue from XMM-Newton X-ray observations that the age is <10 kyr.

(b)

This shell-type SNR is probably a core-collapse SNR given its proximity to molecular clouds. The TeV radiation might also be powered by a pulsar wind, in which case this analysis would not apply; see Mukherjee et al. (2009).

(c)

Possibly associated with PSR 1800-21; see Kassim & Weiler (1990). TeV emission could also be powered by the pulsar wind.
