Evolved Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]
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

Neutrinos from the pulsar wind nebulae [PDF]
In the recent paper we calculated the $ $-ray spectra from pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), assuming that a significant amount of the pulsar rotational energy is converted into relativistic nuclei. These nuclei accelerate leptons which are responsible for most of the observed electromagnetic emission from PWNe.

Turbulent Diffusion of the Particles within Pulsar Wind Nebulae
A turbulent diffusion model is presented to account for the energy and spatial diffusion of the particles within pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), with the assumption that the energy injected from the pulsar into the nebula is split between the turbulence ...

The contribution of Galactic TeV pulsar wind nebulae to Fermi large area telescope diffuse emission [PDF]
Cosmic Rays (CRs) with energy below 1 PeV are believed to originate in the Milky Way, but recent gamma-ray observations by Fermi Large Area Telescope challenge the interpretation of CR diffusion mechanisms across the galaxy.

Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Unidentified Galactic Very High Energy Sources
The riddle of the origin of Cosmic Rays (CR) has been an open question for over a century. Gamma ray observations above 100 MeV reveal the sites of cosmic ray acceleration to energies where they are unaffected by solar modulation; recent evidence ...

A Study of Particle Transport in Young Pulsar Wind Nebulae
The broadband emission of numerous pulsar wind nebula (PWNe) in our Galaxy can be well described by synchrotron radiation and inverse Compton scattering from relativistic particles, specifically electrons and positrons.

Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Their Supernovae [PDF]
Young supernova remnants that contain pulsar wind nebulae provide diagnostics for both the inner part of the supernova and the interaction with the surrounding medium, providing an opportunity to relate these objects to supernova types. Among observed young nebulae, there is evidence for a range of supernova types, including Type IIP (Crab Nebula and ...

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and nuclear astrophysics [PDF]
HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging (<10″ full width at half maximum) and broad spectral coverage (0.2–80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current facilities (including XMM-Newton ...
