Suggested updating/rewrite
[edit]The picture is super!
Suggested rewrite starting point from the Wiki article on ASTROPHYSICAL JET:
"IGR J11014-6103, also known as the Lighthouse Nebula, is a rapidly spinning neutron star (or pulsar) with a jet unobscured by explosion debris or accretion material. The helical jet of the Lighthouse nebula is presently the largest jet observed in the Milky Way, extending out over 37 lightyears perpendicular to the pulsar's trajectory (about 10X the distance to the nearest star from our solar system). The estimated jet velocity is about 0.8c. This high speed runaway star was created and ejected about 15,000 years ago from the supernova explosion which created supernova remnant SNR MSH 11-16A. In the image shown (click on image to enlarge) the neutron star pulsar is the point-like object with the wind nebula tail trailing behind it for about 3 light years."
Also see the LINKS on that page and see the TALK section on that page.... or I can add it here. Questions? It ain't no point singularity.
What other data can be listed on this star: Spin rate? .....Is there a measurement of the apparent surface temperature of this tiny object or does it have a debris cloud..... then what is the temperature of the inner debris cloud? ... Mavbe a mass measurement technique exists? Chemical composition guesstimate of jet? Estimated jet velocity? Age of jet?
