cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesvisible-astronomysupernova-remnantsastronomical-object-identificationWe present a new optical imaging survey of supernova remnants (SNRs) in M83 (NGC 5236), using data obtained with the Magellan I 6.5m telescope and IMACS instrument under conditions of excellent seeing. Using the criterion of strong [SII] emission relative to H{alpha}, we confirm all but three of the 71 SNR candidates listed in our previous survey, and expand the SNR candidate list to 225 objects, more than tripling the earlier sample. Comparing the optical survey with a new deep X-ray survey of M83 with Chandra, we find that 61 of these SNR candidates have X-ray counterparts. We also identify an additional list of 46 [OIII]-selected nebulae for follow-up as potential ejecta-dominated remnants, seven of which have associated X-ray emission that makes them strong candidates. Some of the other [OIII]-bright objects could also be normal interstellar medium (ISM) dominated SNRs with shocks fast enough to doubly ionize oxygen, but with H{alpha} and [SII] emission faint enough to have been missed. A few of these objects may also be HII regions with abnormally high [OIII] emission compared with the majority of M83 HII regions, compact nebulae excited by young Wolf-Rayet stars, or even background active galactic nuclei. The SNR H{alpha} luminosity function in M83 is shifted by a factor of ~4.5 times higher than for M33 SNRs, indicative of a higher mean ISM density in M83. We describe the search technique used to identify the SNR candidates and provide basic information and finder charts for the objects.2012ApJS..203....8Bhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/203/8CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/ApJS/212/21 : A deep Chandra ACIS survey of M83 (Long+, 2014)J/A+A/518/A29 : Distribution of WR stars in 2 nearby galaxies (Leloudas+, 2010)J/ApJ/706/553 : Fluxes in nearby star-forming galaxies (Boquien+, 2009)J/ApJ/700/654 : Keck spectroscopy of extragalactic HII regions (Esteban+ 2009)J/A+A/439/265 : Wolf-Rayet population in M83 (Hadfield+, 2005)J/A+A/410/53 : M83 X-ray sources (Soria+, 2003)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/203/8https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/203/8http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJS/203/8https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/203/8https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/203/8http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJS/203/8GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/ApJS/203/8/snr_M83 (Supernova remnant (SNR) candidates from ISM-dominated (nos 1-225) or [OIII]-selected (nos 301-346); updated version from erratum (2017, ApJS, 229, 43))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/203/8/snr_M83?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/203/8/snr_M83?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJS/203/8/snr_M83?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true204.166625-29.85977780.0055555555555555566/43881https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJS/203/8?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/ApJS/203/8/snr_M83Supernova remnant (SNR) candidates from ISM-dominated (nos 1-225) or [OIII]-selected (nos 301-346); updated version from erratum (2017, ApJS, 229, 43)recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
