Abstract

We report on Chandra imaging observations of the Galactic Unidentified γ-ray source GEV J1809-2327, comparing the X-ray images with new VLA 1.46 GHz and 4.86 GHz maps. The X-ray images reveal a point source connected to a non-thermal X-ray/radio nebula, supporting a pulsar/wind model for the γ-ray emitter. We also detect numerous X-ray sources from the young stellar association in the adjacent HII region S32.
