Scientific paper

A compact radio source has been found immersed in the flat-spectrum central component of the peculiar supernova remnant CTB 80. The object's apparent steep radio spectrum, moderate degree of polarization, and near-coincidence with an unresolved X-ray source are consistent with a pulsar/neutron star which provides energy to power the flat-spectrum component. Its eccentric location and other evidence suggest a fast-moving object interacting with its environment. The morphology of the surrounding emission which resembles a wisp near the center of the Crab Nebula provides clues to particle acceleration near the neutron star.
