Abstract:The X-ray source CXOU J163802.6−471358 is thought to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), as it shows an extended, ≈40 arcsec trail from a compact source. Here we present GMRT observations of this source at 330 and 1390 MHz, which reveal a remarkable linear radio trail ≈90 arcsec in extent. Although the radio trail points back to the supernova remnant (SNR) G338.1+0.4, ≈50 arcmin from CXOU J163802.6−471358, associating it with this remnant would require a very large velocity for the pulsar. There are no known galact… Show more
