Abstract

PSR J1907+0602 is a 107-ms gamma-ray pulsar that was discovered with the Fermi LAT. The pulsar has an unusually low brightness at radio wavelength. PSR J1907+0602 is located near the extended TeV gamma-ray source MGRO J1908+06 which may be an associated pulsar wind nebula. We present our analysis of XMM-Newton X-ray data and EVLA radio data of the pulsar and its pulsar wind nebula.
