The PWN in MSH 15-52young composite supernova remnant associated to the radio loud pulsarPSR B1509-58bright X-ray and TeV pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by PSR B1509-58, significantly extended:– in X-rays (ROSAT, 10’*6’)– at TeV energies (H.E.S.S., 6.4’*2.3’)pulsations were reported in gamma-rays by CGRO COMPTEL in the 0.75-30 MeV energy range (Kuiper et al., 1999, A&A, 351, 119) and by AGILE above100 MeV (Pellizzoni et al., 2009, ApJ 695, L115).Left : A young pulsar showsits hand (Chandra)ROSATcontoursRight : H.E.S.S.
