摘要：We have developed a method of searching for connections between radio pulsars and supernova remnants, based on their kinematic characteristics. We investigate fairly young radio pulsars with known proper motions and estimated distances (dispersion measures), and supernova remnants located no more than 1-2 kpc from them. Using a specified radial velocity distribution for these pulsars, we have constructed 100-200 thousand trajectories of their possible motion in the Galactic gravitational field on a time scale of a million years back. The probabilities of their close encounters with SNRs at epochs consistent with the age of the pulsar are analyzed. When these probabilities exceed considerably their reference values obtained by assuming a purely random encounter between the objects, we conclude that the pulsars may have originated in the SNRs under consideration. Out of eight pre-selected pairs of pulsar-SNR association candidates, two pairs (J1829-1751 / G16.2-2.7 and J1833-0827 / G24.7-0.6) have shown that they could be connected.
