Two XMM-Newton observations were obtained with the EPIC pn in small window mode, resulting in the measurement of its spin-down luminosity E_dot = 1.36e36 erg/s, characteristic age Tau_c = 116 kyr, and surface magnetic field strength B_s = 7.4e11 G. In comparison to Tau_c, the 10-30 kyr age estimated for MSH 11-61A suggests that the pulsar was born in the SNR with initial period in the range 54 < P_0 < 60 ms. PSR J1101-6101 is the least energetic of the 15 rotation-powered pulsars detected by INTEGRAL, and has a high efficiency of hard X-ray radiation and jet power. We examine the shape of the cometary nebula in a Chandra image, which is roughly consistent with a bow shock at the velocity inferred from the SNR age and the pulsar's E-dot. However, its structure differs in detail from the classic bow shock, and we explore possible reasons for this.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-09T01:32:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integral source igr", "x-ray pulsations", "surface magnetic field strength", "classic bow shock", "hard x-ray radiation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/2041-8205/795/2/L27", "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2014, "month": "Nov", "volume": 795, "number": 2 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1321348, "adsabs": "2014ApJ...795L..27H" } } }
