TL;DR
This paper reports the detection and analysis of extended X-ray emission around RRAT J1819-1458, using Chandra observations, and discusses possible origins of this diffuse emission.
Contribution
The study provides the first detailed imaging and spectral analysis of the extended X-ray emission around RRAT J1819-1458, with no observed long-term spectral variability.
Findings
Diffuse X-ray emission detected with ~19sigma significance
No long-term spectral variability observed
Discussion of possible origin scenarios for the emission
Abstract
We present new imaging and spectral analysis of the recently discovered extended X-ray emission around the high-magnetic-field rotating radio transient RRAT J1819-1458. We used two Chandra observations, taken on 2008 May 31 and 2011 May 28. The diffuse X-ray emission was detected with a significance of ~19sigma in the image obtained by combining the two observations. Long-term spectral variability has not been observed. Possible scenarios for the origin of this diffuse X-ray emission, further detailed in Camero-Arranz et al. (2012), are here discussed.
