ALT This is a composite image of a mysterious object, possibly an unusual neutron star or white dwarf, residing near the edge of a supernova remnant. The object is known as ASKAP J1832. The curious object is shown in the context of the supernova remnant and nearby gas clouds. Radio data is red and X-ray sources seen with Chandra are in dark blue. The supernova remnant is the large, wispy, red oval ring occupying the lower right of the image. The curious object sits inside this ring, to our right of center; a tiny purple speck in a sea of colorful specks. The object is highlighted inside an illustrated circle. The gas cloud shows infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope and resembles a mottled green, teal blue, and golden orange cloud occupying our upper left half of the square image.
