X-RAY EVOLUTION OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 During the search for counterparts of very-high-energy gamma-ray sources, we serendipitously discovered large, extended, low surface brightness emission from PWNe around pulsars with the ages up to ~100 kyrs, a discovery made possible by the low and stable background of the Suzaku X-ray satellite.

Universe, 2023 Based on the expected population of core collapse supernova remnants and the huge number of detected pulsars in the Galaxy, still representing only a fraction of the real population, pulsar wind nebulae are likely to constitute one of the largest classes of extended Galactic sources in many energy bands. For simple evolutionary reasons, the majority of

Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Egret Error Boxes [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2005 A remarkable number of pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) are coincident with EGRET gamma-ray sources. X-ray and radio imaging studies of unidentified EGRET sources have resulted in the discovery of at least 6 new pulsar wind nebulae (PWN). Stationary PWN (SPWN) appear to be associated with steady EGRET sources with hard spectra, typical for gamma-ray pulsars ...

Slow motion pulsar wind nebulae
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021 Abstract We show that even the slow (subsonic) motion of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) relative to an ambient matter has a significant impact on their observables. The motion changes the appearance of nebulae on X-ray images, comparing to what would be observed for a nebula at rest.

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1996 Abstract I discuss pulsar wind nebulae for which ram pressure from the neutron star’s motion is a key element of the morphology. These PWN are tools for determining the pulsar distance, radial velocity component, and interaction of pulsar winds with surrounding media.

The Mouse Pulsar Wind Nebula [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract The young energetic pulsar J1747–2958 (τ = 26 kyr, erg s−1) powers the Mouse pulsar wind nebula (PWN), famous for its spectacular tail spanning 45″ in X-rays and 12′ in radio (d ∼ 5 kpc).

Optical identification of the 3C 58 pulsar wind nebula [PDF]
, 2008 We have performed a deep optical imaging of 3C 58 SNR with the NOT in the B and V bands to detect the optical counterpart of the associated pulsar J0295+6449 and its torus-like wind nebula visible in X-rays.
