Supernova Remnants, Pulsars, Radio Sources

Scientific paper

As part of a continuing study of plerionic supernova remnants, we have closely examined the SNR G291.0-0.1 (MSH 11-62) at radio wavelengths following ASCA X-ray observations of this source. The high angular resolution, full-polarization radio observations at 13 and 20 cm support its plerionic nature; the remnant has an interior dominated by a bright, linearly-shaped, polarized central feature, and has an exterior composed of filamentary structure. No compact source suggestive of a pulsar or associated wind nebula was found. In addition, we observed HI absorption toward the remnant, which places it at or beyond 3.5 kpc. .
