| A Broadband Study of the Supernova Remnant MSH 11-62 |
| MSH 11-62 (G291.1-0.9) is a composite
supernova remnant for which ATCA radio and Chandra / XMM-Newton X-ray
observations have identified the remnant shell as well as its central
pulsar wind nebula (Slane et al. 2012). The image - chosen as one of the
breathtaking new space images in honor of the International Year of
Light (IYL2015) - shows X-ray emission in blue, ATCA radio emission in
pink and visible-light from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) in yellow. Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO/P.Slane et al; Optical: DSS; Radio: CSIRO/ATNF/ATCA |
