Search for radio counterpart of the Fermi/VERITAS PWN candidate in the SNR CTA 1

We present new high angular resolution and high sensitivity radio observations toward the neutron star RX J0007.0+7303, carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at 1.5 GHz. This source powers a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) only detected in the X-ray and gamma-ray domains. The new high qualit...

Sumario:We present new high angular resolution and high sensitivity radio observations toward the neutron star RX J0007.0+7303, carried out with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array at 1.5 GHz. This source powers a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) only detected in the X-ray and gamma-ray domains. The new high quality radio observations do not show any evidence of a source, either point-like or extended, that could be interpreted as the radio counterpart of the high energy PWN, down to a noise level of 15 µJy/beam. © 2013 Sociedade Brasileira de Fisica.
