Chandra measurements of the proper motion of the $\gamma$-ray pulsar J0633+0632

Abstract

We measured the proper motion of a $\gamma$-ray radio-quiet pulsar J0633+0632 using Chandra observations performed in 2009 and 2017. The measured proper motion is $53\pm 15$~mas~yr${}^{-1}$. We found that the proper motion direction does not follow the extension of the J0633+0632 pulsar wind nebula. The J0633+0632 pulsar wind nebula therefore can be a jet-like feature or a misaligned outflow. We also discuss a possible birth cite of the pulsar.
