Nondetection of a Pulsar-powered Nebula in Puppis A and the Implications for the Nature of the Radio-quiet Neutron Star RX J0822โˆ’4300

We report on a deep radio search for a pulsar wind nebula associated with the radio-quiet neutron star RX J0822-4300 in the supernova remnant Puppis A. The well-determined properties of Puppis A allow us to constrain the size of any nebula to less than 30''; however, we find no evidence โ€ฆ
