Optical observations of the young supernova remnant SNR 0540-69.3 and its pulsar
N. I. Serafimovich, P. Lundqvist, Yu. A. Shibanov +1
We have used the ESO NTT/EMMI and VLT/FORS1 instruments to examine the LMC supernova remnant 0540-69.3 as well as its pulsar (PSR B0540-69) and pulsar-powered nebula in the optical…
The young pulsar PSR B0540-69.3 and its synchrotron nebula in the optical and X-rays
N. I. Serafimovich, Yu. A. Shibanov, P. Lundqvist +1
The young PSR B0540-69 (B0540) in the LMC is the only pulsar (except the Crab pulsar) for which a near-UV spectrum has been obtained. However, the absolute flux and spectral index…
Redshift Measurements of Faint Distant Giant Radio Galaxies and Observational Constraints on their Jet Power and Dynamical Age
K. Chyzy, M. Jamrozy, S. J. Kleinman +6
The redshifts of faint radio galaxies identified with giant radio source candidates selected from the sample of Machalski et al. (2001) have been measured. Given the redshift, the…
Deep BVR Imaging of the Field of the Millisecond Pulsar PSR J0030+0451 with the VLT
A. B. Koptsevich, P. Lundqvist, N. I. Serafimovich +2
We report on deep BVR-imaging of the field of the nearby millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 obtained with the ESO/VLT/FORS2. We do not detect any optical counterpart down to B>27.3,…
