Spectral Components of the Radio Composite Supernova Remnant G11.2-0.3
  We present a high-resolution radio study of the supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3 using archival VLA data. Spectral tomography is performed to determine the properties of this composite-type SNR's individual components, which have only recently been distinguished through X-ray observations. Our results indicate that the spectral index of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN), or plerion, is alpha_P ~ 0.25. We observe a spectral index of alpha_S ~ 0.56 throughout most of the SNR shell region, but also detect a gradient in alpha in the south-eastern component. We compare the spectral index and flux density with recent single-dish radio data of the source. Also, the radio efficiency and morphological properties of this PWN are found to be consistent with results for other known PWN systems.
