Based on RATAN-600 21-cm HI line observations with an angular
resolution of 2.4', we study the neutral-hydrogen distribution in the
region of the supernova remnant ( SNR ) S 147 ( G180.0-1.7 ).
We detected a rotating shell of neutral gas immediately adjacent to
the SNR that expands at a velocity of 20 km/s. The HI shell is less distinct
in the southeastern part and at negative radial velocities. The outer
shell diameter is 90 pc; the HI mass in the shell is 2.2x104M of
the Sun.
These data allowed us to estimate the SNR age, 6.5x105
yr, and the initial explosion energy, 2.2x1051 erg.

Figure 1. The distribution of HI emission features in the vicinity of S 147
after the subtraction of the extended background.
The radial velocities are given relative to the Local Standard of Rest;
the declination is indicated at the top. The antenna temperature scale is given
on the left. The thin lines schematically indicate the H I shell around the SNR.
The thick vertical lines mark the SNR radio center in right ascension.
Figure 2.
The distribution of HI emission features, as
constructed from the survey data by Westerhout and
Wendlandt ( 1982 ). The drift curve in l-V coordinates at
the Galactic latitude b = -1.5 dg. is shown. The extended
background of the H I emission was subtracted; the thin
lines trace the shell structure.
