Seminar of Research Postgraduate(RPg) Student:- Radio and X-ray Study of Pulsar Wind Nebula MSH 15-52
Pualsar B1509-58 is a young pulsar with short spin-down age (~1700 yr) embedded in Pulsar Wind Nebula(PWN) MSH 15-52. It is well known as ‘Cosmic Hand’ due to its special hand shape filament structures. The PWN is powered by PSR B1509-58 with very strong synchrotron emission in one-sided jet and two semi-circular arcs. In this study, the speaker and his team use Australia Telescope Compact Array(ATCA) at 3cm and 6cm to study the radio emission of this system at a level of highest resolution than ever before. They showed magnetic field geometry of the overall PWN and some small-scale features to understand the nature of the fingers. They added the X-ray observation results from Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer(IXPE) and Chandra to compare and study its morphology and spectrum. They also present the polarization results and flux measurement of the regions around the pulsar.
