## TL;DR

This paper reports the discovery of radio and X-ray trails associated with pulsar PSR J1509-5850, revealing extended nebulae and potential supernova remnant features, enhancing understanding of pulsar wind nebulae and their environments.

## Contribution

It presents the first detection of a radio trail and associated X-ray nebulae linked to PSR J1509-5850, including possible supernova remnant identification.

## Key findings

- Radio trail length ~7 arcmin at 843 MHz
- X-ray trail aligned with radio trail observed by Chandra
- Possible supernova remnant candidate MSC 319.9-0.7 identified

## Abstract

We have discovered a long radio trail at 843 MHz which is apparently associated with middle age pulsar PSR J1509-5850. The radio trail has a length of ~7 arcmin. In X-rays, Chandra observations of PSR J1509-5850 reveal an associated X-ray trail which extends in the same orientation as the radio trail. Moreover, two clumpy structures are observed along the radio trail. The larger one is proposed to be the supernova remnant (SNR) candidate MSC 319.9-0.7. Faint X-ray enhancement at the position of the SNR candidate is found in the Chandra data.
