We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the direction of the young high magnetic-field pulsar J1119-6127. In the resulting images we identify a non-thermal radio shell of diameter 15', which we classify as a…

Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we have pinpointed the location of a faint X-ray point source (CXOUJ182913.1-125113) and an associated diffuse nebula in the composite supernova remnant G18.95-1.1. These objects appear to be the…

In this paper, we present a full spatially resolved polarization map for the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) observed by IXPE. By employing effective background discrimination techniques, our results show a remarkably high degree of local…

A Chandra image of the central X-ray source RX J0007.0+7303 in the supernova remnant CTA 1 reveals a point source, a compact nebula, and a bent jet, all of which are characteristic of energetic, rotation-powered pulsars. Using the MDM 2.4m…
