The Complex Wind Torus and Jets of PSR B1706-44 [PDF]
We report on Chandra ACIS imaging of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of the young Vela-like PSR B1706-44, which shows the now common pattern of an equatorial wind and polar jets.

X-ray Emission from the Guitar Nebula [PDF]
We have detected weak soft X-ray emission from the Pulsar Wind Nebula trailing the high velocity star PSR 2224+65 (the `Guitar Nebula'). This X-ray flux gives evidence of \gamma~10^7 eV particles in the pulsar wind and constrains the properties of the ...

Fermi-LAT Search for Pulsar Wind Nebulae around gamma-ray Pulsars
The high sensitivity of the Fermi-LAT (Large Area Telescope) offers the first opportunity to study faint and extended GeV sources such as pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). After one year of observation the LAT detected and identified three pulsar wind nebulae:

Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Their Supernovae [PDF]
Young supernova remnants that contain pulsar wind nebulae provide diagnostics for both the inner part of the supernova and the interaction with the surrounding medium, providing an opportunity to relate these objects to supernova types. Among observed young nebulae, there is evidence for a range of supernova types, including Type IIP (Crab Nebula and ...

Impact of Cosmic‐Ray Physics on Dark Matter Indirect Searches
The quest for the elusive dark matter (DM) that permeates the Universe (and in general the search for signatures of physics beyond the Standard Model at astronomical scales) provides a unique opportunity and a tough challenge to the high energy astrophysics community.

AbstractI 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 Guitar Nebula pulsar (B2224+65) also represents a ‘smoking gun’ for velocity kicks

The effects of spin-down on the structure and evolution of pulsar wind nebulae [PDF]
We present high resolution spherically symmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the evolution of a pulsar wind nebula inside the free expanding ejecta of the supernova progenitor.

The Observer’s Guide to the Gamma‐Ray Burst Supernova Connection
We present a detailed report of the connection between long‐duration gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) and their accompanying supernovae (SNe). The discussion presented here places emphasis on how observations, and the modelling of observations, have constrained what we know about GRB‐SNe.

Diverse Features of the Multiwavelength Afterglows of Gamma‐Ray Bursts: Natural or Special?
The detection of optical rebrightenings and X‐ray plateaus in the afterglows of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs) challenges the generic external shock model. Recently, we have developed a numerical method to calculate the dynamics of the system consisting of a forward shock and a reverse shock.
