We report the detection of radio and X-ray pulsations at a period of 51.6 msfrom the X-ray source RX/AX J2229.0+6114 in the error box of the EGRET source3EG J2227+6122. An ephemeris derived from a single ASCA observation andmultiple epochs at 1412 MHz from Jodrell Bank indicates steady spin-down withP-dot = 7.83 x 10^(-14) s/s. From the measured P and P-dot we derive spin-downpower E-dot = 2.2 x 10^(37) erg/s, magnetic field B = 2.0 x 10^(12) G, andcharacteristic age P/2P-dot = 10,460 yr. An image from the Chandra X-rayObservatory reveals a point source surrounded by centrally peaked diffuseemission that is contained within an incomplete radio shell. We assign the nameG106.6+2.9 to this new supernova remnant, which is evidently a pulsar windnebula. For a distance of 3 kpc estimated from X-ray absorption, the ratio ofX-ray luminosity to spin-down power is ~8 x 10^(-5), smaller than that of mostpulsars, but similar to the Vela pulsar. If PSR J2229+6114 is the counterpartof 3EG J2227+6122 then its efficiency of gamma-ray production, if isotropic, is0.016 (d/3 kpc)^2. It obeys an established trend of gamma-ray efficiency amongknown gamma-ray pulsars which, in combination with the demonstrated absence ofany other plausible counterpart for 3EG J2227+6122, makes the identificationcompelling. If confirmed, this identification bolsters the pulsar model forunidentified Galactic EGRET sources.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted by The Astrophysical Journal Letter
