Using NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory and Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have investigated a pulsar wind nebula, dubbed "the Goose," powered by a young pulsar known as PSR J1016-5857. Results of the study, published April 27 on the arXiv pre-print server, deliver important insights into the nature of this nebula.
