PeV Emission of the Crab Nebula: Constraints on the Proton Content in Pulsar Wind and Implications [PDF]

open access: bronzeAstrophysical Journal, 2021
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).

Peta–electron volt gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2021
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 ...

Daily monitoring of TeV gamma-ray emission from Mrk 421, Mrk 501, and the Crab Nebula with HAWC [PDF]

open access: green, 2017
We present results from daily monitoring of gamma-rays in the energy range from ∼0.5 to ∼100 TeV with the first 17 months of data from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory.

Herschel spectral-mapping of the Helix Nebula (NGC 7293): Extended CO photodissociation and OH+ emission [PDF]

open access: green, 2014
Context. The Helix nebula (NGC 7293) is our closest planetary nebulae. Therefore, it is an ideal template for photochemical studies at small spatial scales in planetary nebulae. Aims.

Persistent Radio Emission from Synchrotron Heating by a Repeating Fast Radio Burst Source in a Nebula [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2020
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.

Simultaneous space and phase resolved X-ray polarimetry of the Crab pulsar and nebula [PDF]

open access: yesNature Astronomy, 2022
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.

Vela pulsar wind nebula X-rays are polarized to near the synchrotron limit. [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2022

Positron flux and γ-ray emission from Geminga pulsar and pulsar wind nebula [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Nearby pulsars have been suggested as sources of $\sim$TeV $e^+/e^-$ Cosmic Ray (CR) excess on Earth. The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Observatory (HAWC) detected extended TeV emission regions in the direction of two nearby middle-aged pulsars, Geminga ...

Detection of polarized gamma-ray emission from the Crab nebula with the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector† [PDF]

open access: yesNippon Tenmon Gakkai obun kenkyu hokoku, 2018
We present the results from the Hitomi Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD) observation of the Crab nebula. The main part of SGD is a Compton camera, which in addition to being a spectrometer, is capable of measuring polarization of gamma-ray photons.
