Persistent Radio Emission from Synchrotron Heating by a Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in a Nebula [PDF]
The first repeating fast radio burst (FRB), FRB 121102, was found to be associated with a spatially coincident, persistent nonthermal radio source, but the origin of the persistent emission remains unknown. In this paper, we propose that the persistent emission is produced via synchrotron-heating process by multiple bursts of FRB 121102 in a self ...

The Antares emission nebula and mass loss of alpha Sco A [PDF]
The Antares nebula is a peculiar emission nebula seen in numerous Fe II lines and in radio free-free emission, probably associated with the H II region caused by alpha Sco B in the wind of alpha Sco A. High-resolution spectra with spatial resolution were used to study the emission line spectrum, the physical nature of the nebula and to determine the ...

High velocity structures in, and the X-ray emission from the LBV nebula around Eta Carinae [PDF]
The Luminous Blue Variable star Eta Carinae is one of the most massive stars known. It underwent a giant eruption in 1843 in which the Homunculus nebula was created. ROSAT and ASCA data indicate the existence of a hard and a soft X-ray component which appear to be spatially distinct: a softer diffuse shell of the nebula around Eta Carinae and a harder ...

Deep Optical Images of the Ejecta Nebula around the Wolf–Rayet Star WR 8 (HD 62910) [PDF]
We report the results of deep H α and [O iii ] images of the bright WN6/WC4 Wolf–Rayet (WR) star WR 8 (HD 62910). These data show considerably more surrounding nebulosity than seen in prior imaging. The brighter portions of the nebula span $\simeq {6}^{{\

On the variability of the GeV and multi-TeV gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula [PDF]
Recently, the AGILE γ -ray telescope has reported enhanced γ -ray emission above 100 MeV from the direction of the Crab nebula during a period of a few days. This intriguing observation has been confirmed by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT).

Peta–electron volt gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula [PDF]
High-energy photons from the Crab Nebula The Crab Nebula contains a pulsar that excites the surrounding gas to emit high-energy radiation. The combination of the pulsar's youth and nearby location makes the nebula the brightest gamma-ray source in the ...

PeV Emission of the Crab Nebula: Constraints on the Proton Content in Pulsar Wind and Implications [PDF]
Recently, two photons from the Crab Nebula with energy of approximately 1 PeV were detected by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), opening an ultrahigh-energy window for studying pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe).

Simultaneous space and phase resolved X-ray polarimetry of the Crab pulsar and nebula [PDF]
X-ray polarization measurements of the Crab nebula and pulsar by the IXPE satellite reveal a global toroidal magnetic field with large variations in local polarization, suggesting a more complex turbulence distribution than anticipated.
