Subject: SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AND GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION
SEARCH FOR PLERIONS WITHIN SUPERNOVA REMNANTS
ABSTRACT
We propose here to observe 4 southern supernova remnants (SNRs) to search for new plerions (Crab-like core) embedded within the SNR shell, as a part of the collaborative work of scientists from Japan and the United States. The current study will give us new samples of young neutron stars associated with the SNRs. The detected plerions will be further examined by radio and X-ray band to search for radio/X-ray pulsars.
