Pulsar Near the Supernova Remnant RCW 103
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We report the detection of the radio pulsar counterpart to the 69 ms X-ray pulsar discovered near the supernova remnant RCW 103 (G332.4−0.4). Our detection confirms that the pulsations arise from a rotation-powered neutron star, which we name PSR J1617−5055. The observed barycentric period derivative confirms that the pulsar has a characteristic age of only 8 ...
متن کاملAn unresolved X - ray source inside the supernova remnant RCW 86
We report on the discovery of an unresolved X-ray source inside the supernova remnant G315.4-2.3 (RCW 86). The source is located 7 to the Southwest of the geometrical centre and may be close to the actual explosion centre of the supernova, which makes this a candidate for the stellar remnant associated with RCW 86. However, the presence of a possible optical counterpart with V ∼ 14 at 3 from th...
متن کاملRCW 103 – Revisiting a cooling neutron star
Recent observations of the compact source embedded within the supernova remnant RCW 103 rekindle interest in the origin of this object’s emission. We contrast several models in which neutron-star cooling powers RCW 103. Specifically, either the presence of an accreted envelope or a sufficiently intense magnetic field can account for the X-ray emission from this object. Subject headings: stars: ...
متن کاملThe Remnant of Supernova 1987A
Although it has faded by a factor of ∼107, SN 1987A is still bright enough to be observed in almost every band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Today, the bolometric luminosity of the debris is dominated by a far-infrared (∼200 μm) continuum from ∼0.5 M of dust grains in the interior debris. The dust is heated by UV, optical, and near-infrared (NIR) emission resulting from radioactive energy de...
متن کاملKinematics of the Pencil Nebula ( RCW 37 ) and its association with the young Vela supernova remnant RX
The association between the Pencil nebula (RCW 37, NGC 2736), the Vela X-ray fragment D/D' and the recently discovered new X-ray supernova remnant (RX J0852.0-4622) in Vela is investigated. Recently published Chandra images of D/D' are compared with optical images of RCW 37 and confirm the close association of the two objects. New optical line profiles of RCW 37 from an extended slit position p...
