Multi-Wavelength Observations of the Radio Magnetar Psr J1622-4950 and Discovery of Its Possibly Associated Supernova Remnant

We present multi-wavelength observations of the radio magnetar PSR J1622-4950 and its environment. Observations of PSR J1622-4950 with Chandra (in 2007 and 2009) and XMM (in 2011) show that the X-ray flux of PSR J1622-4950 has decreased by a factor of ~50 over 3.7 years, decaying exponentially with...
