Description

A recent study by Schinzel et al. reports that a pulsar was running away from CTB-1. The pulsar was likely born from the very same supernova explosion that produced the remnant. Supernova explosions don’t have perfect symmetry, and the pulsar likely received a natal kick that sent it tearing away from its birthplace at speeds exceeding 1000 km/s, causing it to eventually overtake the expanding shell of gas and dust.
Here is the link to the study (The Tail of PSR J0002+6216 and the Supernova Remnant CTB 1):
