Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Pulsar Wind Nebulae

2020
The connection between supernovae and neutron stars goes back to the seminal publications by W. Baade and F. Zwicky in 1934, in which they coined both the term “super-nova”, suggested a connection between cosmic rays and “super-novae” and postulated that a “super-nova” event “represents the transition of an ordinary star into a neutron star”.

Introduction to Pulsar Wind Nebulae

2018
The ejected material by a SN explosion interacts with the surrounding environment, giving rise to a new astrophysical object known as SNR (for a review of this matter, I refer the reader to (Reynolds 2008) and to Appendix A for more information on the first evolutionary phase).

Introduction to Pulsar Wind Nebulae

2016
Pulsar Wind Nebulae are nebulae of electrons and positrons powered by a central pulsar. In this chapter I give a detailed description of star evolution, centered on the description of supernova remnants, pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae. The basic properties of pulsars are explained, together with the emission mechanisms responsible for the production ...

Polarisation in the Pulsar Wind Nebulae

2008
The main goal of our present work is to provide, for the first time, a simple computational tool that can be used to compute the brightness, the spectral index, the polarization, the time variability and the spectrum of the non-thermal light (both synchrotron and inverse Compton, IC) associated with the plasma dynamics resulting from given relativistic
