| Abstract: |
We report on Australia Telescope Compact Array observations in the direction of the young high-magnetic-field radio pulsar J1119-6127. In the resulting images we identify a non-thermal radio shell of diameter 15 arcmin, which we classify as a previously uncataloged young supernova remnant (SNR), G292.2-0.5. This SNR is positionally coincident with PSR J1119-6127, and we conclude that the two objects are physically associated. No radio emission is detected from any pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar; our observed upper limits are consistent with the expectation that high-magnetic-field pulsars produce radio nebulae which fade rapidly. This system suggests a possible explanation for the lack of associated radio pulsars and/or PWNe in many SNRs. |
