Abstract (from CDS):

We present a high-resolution radio study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3 using archival Very Large Array data. Spectral tomography is performed to determine the properties of this composite-type SNR's individual components, which have only recently been distinguished through X-ray observations. Our results indicate that the spectral index of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN), or plerion, is αP=0.25+0.05–0.10. We observe a spectral index of αS=0.56±0.02 throughout most of the SNR shell region but also detect a gradient in α in the southeastern component. We compare the spectral index and flux density with recent single-dish radio data of the source. Also, the radio efficiency and morphological properties of this PWN are found to be consistent with results for other known PWN systems.
