PSR J1747-2958 is a young, weak, nonthermal radio pulsar with a rotation period of 98.8 ms ( milliseconds). The pulsar moves at a supersonic speed through the interstellar medium forming an unusual nonthermal nebula around it. This nebula around PSR J1747-2958 is also called the Mouse nebula or G359.23-0.82 and it is a axisymmetcric nebula. [1]
Discovery
This object was discovered in February 7, 2008 with a 58 ks exposure. [2]
