Summary
[edit]DescriptionChandra cometpulsar zoom.jpg |
English: The Chandra image shown (an enlargement of the "Chandra Close-up") reveals a comet-shaped X-ray source well outside the boundary of the supernova remnant. This source consists of a point-like object with a long tail trailing behind it for about 3 light years. ... The point-like X-ray source was discovered by the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, or INTEGRAL, and is called IGR J11014-6103 (or IGR J11014 for short). ... The elongated emission is pointing towards the center of MSH 11-61A where the pulsar would have been formed. |

In the Chandra image, seen with XMM-Newton is the faint X-ray tail extending to the top-right. Similar tails have been seen from other pulsars that also do not line up with the pulsar's direction of motion.
