A search for near infrared counterparts of three pulsar wind nebulae

Context. While pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and their associated isolated pulsars are commonly detected at X-ray energies, they aremuch rarer at near infrared (nIR) and optical wavelengths.Aims. Here we examine three PWN systems in the Galactic plane – IGR J14003-6326, HESS J1632-478 and IGRJ18490-000...
