Observations of a nearby pulsar wind nebula reveal a radio jet feature with a helical magnetic field inside

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby pulsar wind nebula in the supernova remnant G11.2−0.3. Results of the observational campaign, published March 3 on the arXiv preprint server, deliver important insights into the structure and properties of this nebula.
