Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies, higher than expected rotation rates of stars in the outer regions of ...

A Dynamical Model for the Evolution of a Pulsar Wind Nebula inside a Non-Radiative Supernova Remnant

, 2009
A pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant provides a unique insight into the properties of the central neutron star, the relativistic wind powered by its loss of rotational energy, its progenitor supernova, and the surrounding environment.

Multimessengers from Core‐Collapse Supernovae: Multidimensionality as a Key to Bridge Theory and Observation

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Core‐collapse supernovae are dramatic explosions marking the catastrophic end of massive stars. The only means to get direct information about the supernova engine is from observations of neutrinos emitted by the forming neutron star, and through gravitational waves which are produced when the hydrodynamic flow or the neutrino flux is not perfectly ...

Pulsar Wind Nebulae in the Chandra Era [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008
Pulsar winds shocked in the ambient medium produce spectacular nebulae observable from the radio through gamma-rays. The shape and the spectrum of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) depend on the angular distribution, magnetization and energy spectrum of the wind streaming from the pulsar magnetosphere, as well as on the pulsar velocity and the properties of ...

Gamma-ray emission from star-forming complexes observed by MAGIC: The cases of W51 and HESS J1857+026

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Massive star-forming regions assemble a large number of young stars with remnants of stellar evolution and a very dense environment. Therefore, particles accelerated in supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae encounter optimal conditions for ...

Pulsar‐Driven Jets in Supernovae, Gamma‐Ray Bursts, and the Universe

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The bipolarity of Supernova 1987A can be understood through its very early light curve from the CTIO 0.4 m telescope and IUE FES and following speckle observations of the “Mystery Spot”. These indicate a beam/jet of light/particles, with initial collimation factors >104 and velocities >0.95 c, involving up to 10−5 M⊙ interacting with circumstellar ...

Pulsar wind nebulae created by fast-moving pulsars [PDF]

Journal of Plasma Physics, 2017
We review multiwavelength properties of pulsar wind nebulae created by supersonically moving pulsars and the effects of pulsar motion on the pulsar wind nebulae morphologies and the ambient medium. Supersonic pulsar wind nebulae are characterized by bow-shaped shocks around the pulsar and/or cometary tails filled with the shocked pulsar wind.

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

Focusing X‐Ray Optics for Astronomy

X-Ray Optics and Instrumentation, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Focusing X‐ray telescopes have been the most important factor in X‐ray astronomy’s ascent to equality with optical and radio astronomy. They are the prime tool for studying thermal emission from very high temperature regions, non‐thermal synchrotron radiation from very high energy particles in magnetic fields and inverse Compton scattering of lower ...
