Abstract

Large H II regions formed by rich OB stellar associations are suspected to be sites of SN explosions. In most cases, the characteristic emission of the resulting supernova remnants (SNRs) is masked by the stronger H II region emission. In those cases, other SNR identification techniques are required. Here we present the application of one of these techniques (kinematic identification) to the detection of several SNRs inside the large H II regions N19 and N66 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Similar observations are suggested for galactic nebulae of similar properties.
