Abstract
We present the optical identification of several new supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud. These SNRs have been identified by the ratios shown in optical emission-line images from the Magellanic Cloud Emission-line Survey. For several of these candidates, we have obtained long slit resolution spectroscopy to confirm the high [S II]/Hα ratios. We present the list of candidates, discuss the characteristics of these new objects, and also include some preliminary measurements of expansion velocities, electron and ambient densities based on the optical data we have obtained.
