We present archival data from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory that reveal a bright point source to the southeast of the center of the young supernova remnant G292.0+1.8 that is coincident with the peak of highest radio surface brightness .
The mostly featureless spectrum of the point source at coordinates ( J2000 ) \alpha =11 ^ { h } 24 ^ { m } 39 ^ { s } .2 , \delta =-59 \arcdeg 16 \arcmin 19 \arcsec .8 is well fit by a three-parameter absorbed model with one power-law and two blackbody components .
We also argue that the neutron star is surrounded by a synchrotron wind nebula based off of the source ’ s hard emission and high radio and X-ray luminosities , each corresponding to a canonical wind nebula spin-down power , \dot { E } \sim { 10 } ^ { 36 } erg s ^ { -1 } .
