Galactic interstellar emission contributes substantially to Fermi LAT observations in the Galactic plane, where the majority of Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are located. We have developed a method to explore some systematic effects on SNRs' properties caused by interstellar emission modeling. We created eight alternative Galactic interstellar models by varying a few input parameters to GALPROP, namely the height of the cosmic ray propagation halo, cosmic ray source distribution in the Galaxy, and atomic hydrogen spin temperature. We have analyzed eight representative candidate SNRs chosen to encompass a range of Galactic locations, extensions, and spectral properties using the eight different interstellar emission models. The models were fitted to the LAT data with free independent normalization coefficients for the various components of the model along the line of sight in each region of interest. We will discuss the results and compare them with those obtained with the official LAT interstellar emission model.

A Systematic Search for MeV-GeV Pulsar Wind Nebulae without Gamma-ray Detected Pulsars
A Fermi-LAT analysis of 58 PWNe without gamma-ray pulsars identifies 9 likely and 21 candidate MeV-GeV PWN counterparts, potentially raising the Fermi-LAT PWN census from 12 to 21.
