Abstract:
    This paper examines relations between the radio surface brightness
    Sigma and the diameter D (also known as Sigma-D relations) for a
    sample of extragalactic supernova remnants (SNRs) as constructed from
    a combination of published data and data from our own surveys. Our
    sample of extragalactic SNRs is the largest ever devised for the
    purpose of analyzing Sigma-D relations.

Note (1): TNG 38.9+42.5 corrected into TNG 38.9+22.5 by CDS
Note (2): Notes on S1.4GHz as follows:
      a = S_20_ has been extrapolated from the values listed for {alpha} 
          and S_36_ by Filipovic et al. (1998, Cat. <J/A+AS/130/421>).
      D = The flux densities are from the paper by 
          Dickel & Milne (1995AJ....109..200D).
      e = S_20_ has been extrapolated from the values listed for {alpha} 
          and S_18_ by Tarchi et al. (2000A&A...358...95T).  
Note (3): We adopted published values for the spectral index alpha 
          (S_nu_{prop.to}nu^-alpha^) of these sources; if no spectral index 
          was given, a value of 0.5 was assumed.
Note (4): Notes on alpha as follows:
      b = No spectral index data available; a value of {alpha}=0.5 is assumed.
      c = S_20_ has been extrapolated from the values listed for {alpha} 
          by McDonald et al. (2002MNRAS.334..912M) and 
          S_3.6_ by Huang et al. (1994ApJ...424..114H).
