Recently, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST)measured the three-dimensional velocity of PSR J0538+2817 in its associatedsupernova remnant S147 and found a possible spin-velocity alignment in thispulsar. Here we show that the high velocity and the spin-velocity alignment inthis pulsar can be explained by the so-called electromagnetic rocket mechanism.In this framework, the pulsar is kicked in the direction of the spin axis,which naturally explains the spin-velocity alignment. We scrutinize theevolution of this pulsar and show that the pulsar kick can create a highlyrelativistic jet at the opposite direction of the kick velocity. The lifetimeand energetics of the jet is estimated. It is argued that the jet can generatea Gamma-ray Burst (GRB). The long term dynamical evolution of the jet iscalculated. It is found that the shock radius of the jet should expand to about32 pc at present, which is well consistent with the observed radius of thesupernova remnant S147 ($32.1\pm4.8$ pc). Additionally, our calculationsindicate that the current velocity of the GRB remnant should be about 440 kms$^{-1}$, which is also consistent with the observed blast wave velocity of theremnant of S147 (500 km s$^{-1}$).

Is the Birth of PSR J0538+2817 Accompanied by a Gamma-ray Burst?
