New, fast X-ray pulsar in the supernova remnant MSH 15--52
Abstract
A pulsing X-ray source has been discovered within the shell of the supernova remnant MSH 15--52. The period is 0.150 s, and the rate of increase of period with time is the highest measured for any pulsar. These characteristics and the fact that the pulsar is surrounded by a small, bright nebula indicate that this object is very similar to the Crab pulsar.
