Abstract
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are major sites for both the production and destruction of interstellar dust, and quantifying their dust budget is essential for understanding the life cycle of cosmic dust. In this work, the dust masses of four Galactic SNRs (G93.7−0.2, G109.1−1.0, G156.2+5.7, and G166.0+4.3) are estimated using two complementary methods: the three-dimensional (3D) interstellar extinction map and infrared (IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting based on photometry from WISE, IRAS, AKARI, and Planck. The extinction masses, derived from the differential extinction within each SNR’s distance interval, are 108.3, 82.0, 48.8, and 119.2 M ⊙ , respectively. A two-component (“warm + cold”) modified blackbody fitting yields warm dust temperatures of 43–74 K and cold dust temperatures of 13–16 K, with the cold dust component dominating the total IR-emission mass (∼90–400 M ⊙ ). The extinction masses and IR-emission masses show systematic differences, likely caused by sightline contamination from unrelated foreground/background material and uncertainties in dust temperatures and opacities.
