A Radio Supernova Remnant Associated with the Young Pulsar J1119-6127

چکیده
We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the direction of the young high magnetic-Ðeld pulsar J1119[6127. In the resulting images we identify a nonthermal radio shell of diameter 15@, which we classify as a previously uncataloged young supernova remnant, G292.2[0.5. This supernova remnant is positionally coincident with PSR J1119[6127, and we conclude that the two objects are physically associated. No radio emission is detected from any pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar ; our observed upper limits are consistent with the expectation that high magnetic-Ðeld pulsars produce radio nebulae that fade rapidly. This system suggests a possible explanation for the lack of an associated radio pulsar and/or PWN in many supernova remnants. Subject headings : ISM: individual (G292.2[0.5) È pulsars : individual (PSR J1119[6127) È radio continuum: ISM È stars : neutron È supernova remnants

A Radio Supernova Remnant Associated with the Young Pulsar
We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the direction of the young high magneticfield pulsar J1119–6127. In the resulting images we identify a non-thermal radio shell of diameter 15, which we classify as a previously uncatalogued young supernova remnant, G292.2–0.5. This supernova remnant is positionally coincident with PSR J1119–6127, and we conclude that the two objects...
متن کاملChandra Detection of the X-ray Counterpart of the High Magnetic Field Radio Pulsar J1119-6127 in the Supernova Remnant G292.2-0.5
We report the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer detection of the X-ray counterpart of the high magnetic field, ∼1600 year-old, 407 ms radio pulsar J1119–6127 associated with the supernova remnant G292.2– 0.5. The powerful imaging capability of Chandra also unveiled, for the first time, a faint 3×6 pulsar wind nebula (PWN) at energies above∼1.2 keV. The X-ray emission from the pulsar and...

We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the direction of the young high-magnetic-field radio pulsar PSR J1119−6127. In the resulting images we identify a non-thermal radio shell of diameter 15 ′ , which we classify as a previously uncataloged young supernova remnant (SNR), G292.2−0.5. This SNR is positionally coin-cident with PSR J1119−6127, and we conclude that the two o...
متن کاملDiscovery of Two High-magnetic-field Radio Pulsars
We report the discovery of two young isolated radio pulsars with very high inferred magnetic fields. PSR J1119−6127 has period P = 0.407 s, and the largest period derivative known among radio pulsars, Ṗ = 4.0×10−12. Under standard assumptions these parameters imply a characteristic spin-down age of only τc = 1.6 kyr and a surface dipole magnetic field strength of B = 4.1× 1013 G. We have measur...
متن کاملRadio Polarization of the Young High-Magnetic-Field Pulsar PSR J1119-6127
We have investigated the radio polarization properties of PSR J1119 6127, a recently discovered young radio pulsar with a large magnetic field. Using pulsar-gated radio imaging data taken at a center frequency of 2496 MHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we have determined a rotation measure for the pulsar of +842 23 rad m 2. These data, combined with archival polarimetry data taken ...
