We present the first public database of high-energy observations of all known Galactic supernova remnants (SNRs). In section 1 we introduce the rationale for this work motivated primarily by studying particle acceleration in SNRs, and which aims at bridging the already existing census of Galactic SNRs (primarily made at radio wavelengths) with the ever-growing but diverse observations of these objects at high-energies (in the X-ray and gamma-ray regimes). In section 2 we show how users can browse the database using a dedicated web front-end (http://www.physics.umanitoba.ca/snr/SNRcat). In section 3 we give some basic statistics about the records we have collected so far, which provides a summary of our current view of Galactic SNRs. Finally, in section 4, we discuss some possible extensions of this work. We believe that this catalogue will be useful to both observers and theorists, and timely with the synergy in radio/high-energy SNR studies as well as the upcoming new high-energy missions. A feedback form provided on the website will allow users to provide comments or input, thus helping us keep the database up-to-date with the latest observations.

  1. GeV {\gamma}-ray emission in the low-mass star-forming region AFGL 490

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Discovery of extended GeV gamma-ray emission from AFGL 490, with the protostellar jet identified as the likely particle accelerator rather than stellar winds.

  2. The G347.3-0.5 outlier from O3: a follow-up case study for continuous gravitational-wave candidates

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Multi-pipeline follow-up recovers the G347.3-0.5 outlier in O3 data but finds no standard persistent continuous-wave signal in O4a or O4b, disfavouring the astrophysical interpretation under the assumed model.

  3. A Log-Uniform Initial Magnetic Field Distribution Explains Pulsar and Magnetar Populations through Magnetic Inclination Alignment

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Magnetic inclination alignment with timescale proportional to B to the minus two suppresses observed numbers of strong-field neutron stars, unifying pulsars and magnetars under one log-uniform initial B distribution.

  4. Understanding the Neutron Star Population with the SKAO Telescopes

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    SKAO AA* and AA4 surveys are projected to discover thousands of ordinary pulsars and ~800–1000 MSPs, enabling population synthesis, mass measurements and tests of gravity and emission physics.

  5. SKAO and Gamma-Ray Synergies

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Overview of synergies between SKA radio observations and gamma-ray facilities for studying transient, variable, and steady GeV-TeV sources.

  6. Supernova remnants in the new radio astronomy era

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review summarizing current challenges in radio observations of supernova remnants and the expected scientific gains from SKA-era instruments.
