Discovery of an X-ray Nebula associated with PSR J2124-3358

We report the discovery of an X-ray nebula associated with the nearby millisecond pulsar PSR J2124-3358. This is the first time that extended emission from a solitary millisecond pulsar is detected. The emission extends from the pulsar to the northwest by ~ 0.5 arcmin. The spectrum of the nebular emission can be modeled by a power law spectrum with photon index of 2.2 +/-0.4. This is inline with the emission being originated from accelerated particles in the post shock flow
