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‐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 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 ...

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 ...

Multi-D magnetohydrodynamic modelling of pulsar wind nebulae: recent progress and open questions [PDF]
, 2016 In the last decade, the relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modelling of pulsar wind nebulae, and of the Crab nebula in particular, has been highly successful, with many of the observed dynamical and emission properties reproduced down to the finest ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 38, Issue 17, September 2011., 2011 We report in‐situ measurements by three THEMIS spacecraft showing the evolution of reconnection in a solar wind current sheet as the current sheet transited from the solar wind across the bow shock and close to the magnetopause on July 11, 2008. The observations suggest that the solar wind reconnection exhaust within the current sheet was disrupted by ...

Heavy Elements and Electromagnetic Transients from Neutron Star Mergers
Annalen der Physik, Volume 536, Issue 2, February 2024.Astro‐(physics) has made major leaps forward through the combined information provided by both gravitational waves and electromagnetic emission from the first detected neutron star merger event. This review provides an up‐to‐date overview of today's understanding of neutron star mergers and their electromagnetic emission and it discusses possible ...

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 ...

GeV Gamma-Ray Emission from Pulsar Wind Nebula HESS J1356-645 with Fermi-Large Area Telescope
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 HESS J1356-645 is considered to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with the pulsar PSR J1357-6429. We reanalyze the GeV gamma-ray emission in the direction of HESS J1356-645 with more than 13 yr of Fermi-Large Area Telescope data.
