Hard X-Ray Observation and Multiwavelength Study of the PeVatron Candidate Pulsar Wind Nebula “Dragonfly” [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We studied the PeVatron nature of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) G75.2+0.1 (“Dragonfly”) as part of our NuSTAR observational campaign of energetic PWNe. The Dragonfly is spatially coincident with LHAASO J2018+3651, whose maximum photon energy is 0.27 PeV ...

A Spatially Resolved X-Ray Polarization Map of the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 In this paper, we present a full spatially resolved polarization map for the Vela pulsar wind nebula (PWN) observed by IXPE. By employing effective background discrimination techniques, our results show a remarkably high degree of local polarization in ...

Discovery of GeV Gamma-Ray Emission from Pulsar Wind Nebula Kes 75 and PSR J1846–0258 [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We report the detection of gamma-ray emission from pulsar wind nebula (PWN) Kes 75 and PSR J1846−0258. Through modeling the spectral energy distribution incorporating the new Fermi-LAT data, we find that the observed gamma-ray emission is likely a ...

A NuSTAR and Chandra Investigation of the Misaligned Outflow of PSR J1101–6101 and the Lighthouse Pulsar Wind Nebula [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 PSR J1101–6101 is an energetic young pulsar that powers the remarkable Lighthouse pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The pulsar belongs to the rare type of radio- and gamma-ray-quiet pulsars that are bright in hard X-rays.

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

Testing a stochastic acceleration model of pulsar wind nebulae: early evolution of a wind nebula associated with SN 1986J [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 Over three thousand pulsars have been discovered, but none have been confirmed to be younger than a few hundred years. Observing a pulsar after a supernova explosion will help us understand the properties of newborn ones, including their capability to ...
