Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
Image of the Vela pulsar field taken with ALMA in Band 7 (343.5 GHz). The intensity contours overlaid at the center of the image correspond to the pulsar detections in Band 3 (97.5 GHz; white), Band 4 (145 GHz; black), and Band 6 (233 GHz; red). The contours correspond to 3, 6, and 8σ levels for the Band 3 and 4 images, and to 3, 4, and 4.8σ levels for the Band 6 image. The filled ellipse in the left corner represents the size of the synthesized beam of the Band 7 image. The extended source about 1.″4 southeast of the pulsar is the nebula discussed in Section 4.2. The cross indicates the pulsar position at the average epoch of our ALMA observations.
