Mass-loading of bow shock pulsar wind nebulae [PDF]
We investigate the dynamics of bow shock nebulae created by pulsars moving supersonically through a partially ionized interstellar medium. A fraction of interstellar neutral hydrogen atoms penetrating into the tail region of a pulsar wind will undergo ...

Modelling the evolution of pulsar wind nebulae
Using numerical models, the influence of factors such as agnetic field strength on the evolution of pulsar wind ebulae can be determined. This includes the morphological evolution as well as the evolution of the type of light emitted and the corresponding intensity.

A Key to Pulsar Wind Bubble Morphologies: HD simulations [PDF]
We present a model of a pulsar-driven supernova remnant, by using a hydrodynamics code, which simulates the evolution of a pulsar wind nebula when the pulsar is moving at a high velocity through its expanding supernova remnant. The simulation shows four different stages of the pulsar wind nebula: the supersonic expansion stage, the reverse shock ...

HESS J1632-478: an energetic relic [PDF]
HESS J1632-478 is an extended and still unidentified TeV source in the galactic plane. In order to identify the source of the very high energy emission and to constrain its spectral energy distribution, we used a deep observation of the field obtained ...

MHD models of Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]
Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are bubbles or relativistic plasma that form when the pulsar wind is confined by the SNR or the ISM. Recent observations have shown a richness of emission features that has driven a renewed interest in the theoretical modeling of these objects.

Chandra Confirmation of a Pulsar Wind Nebula in DA 495
As part of a multiwavelength study of the unusual radio supernova remnant DA 495, we present observations made with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Imaging and spectroscopic analysis confirms the previously detected X-ray source at the heart of the ...

The Vela Pulsar and its Synchrotron Nebula
(Abridged) We present high-resolution Chandra X-ray observations of PSR B0833-45, the 89 ms pulsar associated with the Vela supernova remnant. We have acquired two observations separated by one month to search for changes in the pulsar and its ...

Lepton Acceleration in Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]
Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) act as calorimeters for the relativistic pair winds emanating from within the pulsar light cylinder. Their radiative dissipation in various wavebands is significantly different from that of their pulsar central engines: the broadband spectra of PWNe possess characteristics distinct from those of pulsars, thereby demanding a ...
