Shedding new light on the Crab with polarized X-rays [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Strong magnetic fields, synchrotron emission, and Compton scattering are omnipresent in compact celestial X-ray sources. Emissions in the X-ray energy band are consequently expected to be linearly polarized. X-ray polarimetry provides a unique diagnostic

Ultra-high-energy γ-ray emission associated with the tail of a bow-shock pulsar wind nebula [PDF]
The InnovationIn this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of an unidentified point-like ultra-high-energy (UHE) γ-ray source, designated as 1LHAASO J1740+0948u, situated in the vicinity of the middle-aged pulsar PSR J1740+1000.

Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or interstellar medium.
