Abstract

A large shell, 1.5 degrees in diameter, outlined by nebulosity and dust clouds has been found centred on the W28 supernova remnant. Obscuration has been studied over a 2 degree square area centred on W28. The W28 SNR is coincident with a region of reduced obscuration. The densest parts of the obscuration AB≥ 4m is coincident with the molecular clouds associated with M20 and the OH maser to the south of M20.The observed absorption is interpreted as being the result of the expansion of the W28 SNR into an older pre-existing SNR or stellar wind bubble.
