Scientific paper

The galactic supernova remnant G351.2+0.1 has been imaged at frequencies of 1.4, 5, and 15 GHz. The images reveal a source composed of two distinct components: a broken elongated shell measuring 4×6 arcmin and a central core ≡15 arcsec in diameter. The two components are spectrally distinct. The shell has a nonthermal spectrum (α = -0.4) typical for galactic supernova remnants, while the central core has an inverted spectrum (α = +0.27). The central core may be an analog of the Crab Nebula - a synchrotron nebula powered by a pulsar - but if so, it is not typical of such objects.
