Galactic, Atca

Scientific paper

We propose ATCA observations of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with a newly discovered energetic pulsar. This remarkable bow shock system has the longest pulsar trail in radio, providing an ideal case for studying relativistic shocks in the high Mach number regime. The proposed observations will complement existing data, offering high resolution images to resolve the detailed PWN structure. By comparing the radio morphology and magnetic field geometry to hydrodynamic simulations, we will be able to investigate the collimation mechanism for this over 20pc long trail.
