Context. Energetic pulsars can be embedded in a nebula of relativistic leptons that is powered by the dissipation of the rotational energy of the pulsar. The object PSR J0855−4644 is an energetic and fast-spinning pulsar (Ė = 1.1 × 1036 erg s-1, P = 65 ms) discovered near the southeast rim of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0−4622 (aka Vela Jr) by the Parkes multibeam survey. The position of the pulsar is in spatial coincidence with an enhancement in X-rays and TeV γ-rays, which could be due to its putative pulsar wind nebula (PWN).
