JWST data reconstructs the inner ejecta of SNR 0540-69.3 as two similar-sized fragmented lobes, implying a ~300 km/s pulsar kick under symmetry assumption and confirming low-velocity hydrogen mixing in a Type II explosion.

Discovery of Thunder, a bow-shock PWN powered by PSR J1631-4722 in SNR G336.7+0.5 (Nimbus), characterized with radio, X-ray, and polarization data at assumed 7 kpc distance with age ~30-45 kyr.
Chandra observations of CTA 1 PWN show jet/torus morphology, constrain pulsar velocity to ≲200 km/s, and model low magnetic field with PeV electron cutoff in a young low-efficiency nebula.
