Abstract
The pulsar PSR J1907+0602 has been observed at a variety of wavelengths over the past few years. This pulsar is located near an extended TeV gamma-ray source (MGRO J1908+06) and may be connected to it in some way. This study has been an effort to determine certain properties of this pulsar using data gathered at different wavelengths and from multiple instruments. Radio wavelength data came from the Extended Very Large Array (EVLA) in New Mexico. X-ray data came from the XMM-Newton satellite. The radio data was examined to determine if the source was a point-like or extended radio source. The X-ray data were used to search for pulsed X-ray emission as well as to determine if the pulsar is an extended X-ray source. Combining outside research at gamma-ray wavelength with the radio and X-ray data allowed for a spectral model to be fit to the spectral energy distribution of the pulsar.
