Abstract
By comparing the predicts of a semi-analytic model for the evolution of
a pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant with the observed
dynamical and radiative properties of PWN G54.1+0.3 we are able to
constrain the properties of the progenitor supernova and the birth
properties of the central neutron star. This has significant
implications for both the progenitor star of this system and the
magnetosphere of this pulsar.
