We have obtained a deep 670 ks CXO ACIS image of the remarkable pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of PSR J1709-4429, in 4 epochs during 2018-2019. Comparison with an archival 2004 data set provides a pulsar proper motion mu = 13 pm 3 mas/yr at a PA of 86 pm 9 degree (1 sigma combined statistical and systematic uncertainties), precluding birth near the center of SNR G343.1-2.3. At the pulsars characteristic age of 17 kyr, the association can be preserved through a combination of progenitor wind, birth kick and PWN outflow. Associated TeV emission may, however, indicate explosion in an earlier supernova. Inter-epoch comparison of the X-ray images shows that the PWN is dynamic, but we are unable to conclusively measure flow speeds from blob motion. The pulsar has generated a radio/X-ray wind bubble, and we argue that the PWNs long narrow jets are swept back by shocked pulsar wind venting from this cavity. These jets may trace the polar magnetic field lines of the PWN flow, an interesting challenge for numerical modeling.

PSR J1813-1749 is one of the most energetic rotation-powered pulsars known, producing a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) and gamma-ray and TeV emission, but whose spin period is only measurable in X-ray. We present analysis of two Chandra datasets that are s
eparated by more than ten years and recent NICER data. The long baseline of the Chandra data allows us to derive a pulsar proper motion mu_R.A.=-(0.067+/-0.010) yr^-1 and mu_decl.=-(0.014+/-0.007) yr^-1 and velocity v_perp~900-1600 km/s (assuming a distance d=3-5 kpc), although we cannot exclude a contribution to the change in measured pulsar position due to a change in brightness structure of the PWN very near the pulsar. We model the PWN and pulsar spectra using an absorbed power law and obtain best-fit absorption NH=(13.1+/-0.9)x10^22 cm^-2, photon index Gamma=1.5+/-0.1, and 0.3-10 keV luminosity Lx~5.4x10^34 erg/s (d/5 kpc)^2 for the PWN and Gamma=1.2+/-0.1 and Lx~9.3x10^33 erg/s (d/5 kpc)^2 for PSR J1813-1749. These values do not change between the 2006 and 2016 observations. We use NICER observations from 2019 to obtain a timing model of PSR J1813-1749, with spin frequency nu=22.35 Hz and spin frequency time derivative nudot=(-6.428+/-0.003)x10^-11 Hz/s. We also fit nu measurements from 2009-2012 and our 2019 value and find a long-term spin-down rate nudot=(-6.3445+/-0.0004)x10^-11 Hz/s. We speculate that the difference in spin-down rates is due to glitch activity or emission mode switching.
We present a measurement of the proper motion of the presumed pulsar in the evolved composite supernova remnant (SNR) MSH 15-56 whose pulsar wind nebula (PWN) has been disrupted by the supernova (SN) reverse shock. Using Chandra X-ray observations ac
quired over a baseline of 15 years, we measure a pulsar velocity of 720 (+290/-215) km/s and a direction of motion of 14 +/- 22 degrees west of south. We use this measurement to constrain a hydrodynamical model for the evolution of this system and find that its morphology is well-described by an SNR expanding in an ambient density gradient that increases from east to west. The effect of the density gradient and the pulsars motion is an asymmetric interaction between the SN reverse shock and the PWN that displaces the bulk of the PWN material away from the pulsar, towards the northeast. The simulation is consistent with an SNR age of 11,000 years, an SN ejecta mass of 10 solar masses, and an average surrounding density of 0.4 cm^-3. However, a combination of a higher SN ejecta mass and ambient density can produce a similar SNR morphology at a later age.
We present some arguments in support of the association of the pulsar PSR B1706-44 with the supernova remnant G343.1-2.3, based on the idea that these objects could be the result of a supernova explosion within a mushroom-like cavity (created by the
supernova progenitor wind breaking out of the parent molecular cloud). We suggest that in addition to the known bright half of G343.1-2.3 there should exist a more extended and weaker component, such that the actual shape of G343.1-2.3 is similar to that of the well-known SNR VRO 42.05.01. We have found such a component in archival radio data.
We obtained six observations of PSR J1741-2054 using the $Chandra$ ACIS-S detector totaling $sim$300 ks. By registering this new epoch of observations to an archival observation taken 3.2 years earlier using X-ray point sources in the field of view,
we have measured the pulsar proper motion at $mu =109 pm 10 {rm mas yr}^{-1}$ in a direction consistent with the symmetry axis of the observed H$alpha$ nebula. We investigated the inferred past trajectory of the pulsar but find no compelling association with OB associations in which the progenitor may have originated. We confirm previous measurements of the pulsar spectrum as an absorbed power law with photon index $Gamma$=2.68$pm$0.04, plus a blackbody with an emission radius of (4.5$^{+3.2}_{-2.5})d_{0.38}$ km, for a DM-estimated distance of $0.38d_{0.38}$ kpc and a temperature of $61.7pm3.0$ eV. Emission from the compact nebula is well described by an absorbed power law model with a photon index of $Gamma$ = 1.67$pm$0.06, while the diffuse emission seen as a trail extending northeast of the pulsar shows no evidence of synchrotron cooling. We also applied image deconvolution techniques to search for small-scale structures in the immediate vicinity of the pulsar, but found no conclusive evidence for such structures.
We report the parallax and proper motion of millisecond pulsar J0030+0451, one of thirteen known isolated millisecond pulsars in the disk of the Galaxy. We obtained more than 6 years of monthly data from the 305 m Arecibo telescope at 430 MHz and 141
0 MHz. We measure the parallax of PSR J0030+0451 to be 3.3 +/- 0.9 mas, corresponding to a distance of 300 +/- 90 pc. The Cordes and Lazio (2002) model of galactic electron distribution yields a dispersion measure derived distance of 317 pc which agrees with our measurement. We place the pulsars transverse space velocity in the range of 8 to 17 km/s, making this pulsar one of the slowest known. We perform a brief census of velocities of isolated versus binary millisecond pulsars. We find the velocities of the two populations are indistinguishable. However, the scale height of the binary population is twice that of the isolated population and the luminosity functions of the two populations are different. We suggest that the scale height difference may be an artifact of the luminosity difference.
