Extended Data Fig. 7: MeerKAT image of the PSR J0901 − 4046 region at 1.28 GHz.

From: Discovery of a radio-emitting neutron star with an ultra-long spin period of 76 s

Extended Data Fig. 7

The left hand panel shows the image with the pulsed emission included, and the right hand panel shows the same field following the removal of the integration times containing pulses. No persistent radio source is associated with PSR J0901 − 4046 to a 3σ limit of 18 μJy beam−1. The diffuse shell-like structure that surrounds PSR J0901 − 4046 is partially visible, possibly the supernova remnant from the event that formed the neutron star.
