A Broadband Study of the Emission from the Composite Supernova Remnant
  MSH 11-62
  MSH 11-62 (G291.1-0.9) is a composite supernova remnant for which radio and
X-ray observations have identified the remnant shell as well as its central
pulsar wind nebula. The observations suggest a relatively young system
expanding into a low density region. Here we present a study of MSH 11-62 using
observations with the Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Fermi observatories, along with
radio observations from the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We
identify a compact X-ray source that appears to be the putative pulsar that
powers the nebula, and show that the X-ray spectrum of the nebula bears the
signature of synchrotron losses as particles diffuse into the outer nebula.
Using data from the Fermi LAT, we identify gamma-ray emission originating from
MSH 11-62. With density constraints from the new X-ray measurements of the
remnant, we model the evolution of the composite system in order to constrain
the properties of the underlying pulsar and the origin of the gamma-ray
emission.
