چکیده
We have made the first direct interferometric proper motion measurements of the radio pulsar B1757−24, which sits at the tip of the " beak " of the putative " Duck " supernova remnant. The peculiar morphology of this radio complex has been used to argue alternately that the pulsar's space motion was either surprisingly high or surprisingly low. In fact, we show that the pulsar's motion is so small that it and its associated nonthermal nebula G5.27−0.9 (the " head ") are almost certainly unrelated to the much larger G5.4−1.2 (the " wings ").

On the origin of the system PSR B 1757 − 24 / SNR G 5 . 4 − 1 . 2
A scenario for the origin of the system PSR B 1757−24/supernova remnant (SNR) G 5.4−1.2 is proposed. It is suggested that both objects are the remnants of a supernova (SN) that exploded within a pre-existing bubble blown-up by a runaway massive star (the SN progenitor) during the final (Wolf-Rayet) phase of its evolution. This suggestion implies that (a) the SN blast centre was significantly of...
متن کامل0 On neutron star / supernova remnant associations
It is pointed out that a cavity supernova explosion of a moving massive star could result in a significant offset of the neutron star birthplace from the centre of the nearly spherical supernova remnant. Therefore: a) the high implied transverse velocities of a number of neutron stars (e.g. PSR B 1757-24, SGR 0526-66, 1E 0820-4247) could be reduced; b) the proper motion vector of the neutron st...

Context. The field just West of the galactic supernova remnant W28 (l=6.4 o , b=-0.2 o) harbors 3 of 5 newly-discovered 1720 OH maser spots and two recently-discovered candidate supernova candidates (one of which is a γ-ray source), as well as several compact and classical HII regions. Aims. To show the interaction of radio supernova remnants with ambient molecular gas in sky field just West of...
متن کاملSome arguments in support of the association of PSR B 1706 − 44 with the supernova remnant G 343 . 1 −
We present some arguments in support of the association of the pulsar PSR B 1706−44 with the supernova remnant G 343.1−2.3, based on the idea that these objects could be the result of a supernova explosion within a mushroom-like cavity (created by the supernova progenitor wind breaking out of the parent molecular cloud). We suggest that in addition to the known bright " half " of G 343.1−2.3 th...
متن کاملThe Duck Redux: an Improved Proper Motion Upper Limit for the Pulsar B1757–24 near the Supernova Remnant
“The Duck” is a complicated non-thermal radio system, consisting of the energetic radio pulsar B1757– 24, its surrounding pulsar wind nebula G5.27–0.90 and the adjacent supernova remnant (SNR) G5.4–1.2. PSR B1757–24 was originally claimed to be a young (≈ 15000 yr) and extreme velocity (& 1500 km s−1) pulsar which had penetrated and emerged from the shell of the associated SNR G5.4–1.2, but rec...
