The Polarized Cosmic Hand: IXPE Observations of PSR B1509−58/MSH 15−52
We describe IXPE polarization observations of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) MSH 15−5 ^2 , the “Cosmic Hand.” We find X-ray polarization across the PWN, with B -field vectors generally aligned with filamentary X-ray structures.

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

Motivated by the recent discovery of a low-surface-brightness diffuse emission, a supernova remnant (SNR) candidate, surrounding the young pulsar PSR J0837–2454, we carry out a likelihood analysis of the γ -ray data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space ...

The braking index of PSR B0540−69 and the associated pulsar wind nebula emission after spin-down rate transition [PDF]
In 2011 December, PSR B054−69 experienced a spin-down rate transition (SRT), after which the spin-down power of the pulsar increased by $\sim 36{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$. About 1000 d after the SRT, the X-ray luminosity of the associated pulsar wind nebula (

THE THEORY OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE [PDF]
I will review the current status of our theoretical understanding of Pulsar Winds and associated nebulae (PWNe). In recent years, axisymmetric models of pulsar winds with a latitude dependent energy flux have proved very successful at explaining the morphology of PWNe as seen in the X-rays.

Interaction of a magnetized pulsar wind with its surroundings. MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]
Magnetohydrodynamical simulations are presented of a magnetized pulsar wind interacting directly with the interstellar medium, or, in the case of a surrounding supernova remnant, with the associated freely expanding ejecta of the progenitor star. In both cases the simulations show that the pulsar wind nebula will be elongated due to the dynamical ...

PULSAR WIND NEBULAE MODELING [PDF]
Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are ideal astrophysical laboratories where high energy relativistic phenomena can be investigated. They are close, well resolved in our observations, and the knowledge derived in their study has a strong impact in many other fields, from AGNs to GRBs.
