Abstract | We present new high radio frequency observations of the Boomerang pulsar wind nebula (PWN) made with the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope. A comparison with low frequency data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS; Taylor et al. 2003) reveals a change of the nebula's emission structure with frequency caused by a radial steepening of the radio spectrum above 5 GHz. We also find evidence that the reverse shock of the initial supernova shock wave has driven away or crushed the original PWN which might explain why the current nebula around the pulsar has such a low radio luminosity. |
