Pulsar Wind Nebulae with Thick Toroidal Structure [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2011
We investigate a class of pulsar wind nebulae that show synchrotron emission from a thick toroidal structure. The best studied such object is the small radio and X-ray nebula around the Vela pulsar, which can be interpreted as the result of interaction ...

Pulsar Wind Nebulae Created by Fast-Moving Pulsars [PDF]

Journal of Plasma Physics, 2017
We review multiwavelength properties of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) created by supersonically moving pulsars and the effects of pulsar motion on the PWN morphologies and the ambient medium.

Pulsar Wind Nebulae in EGRET Error Boxes [PDF]

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004
A remarkable number of pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) are coincident with EGRET gamma-ray sources. X-ray and radio imaging studies of unidentified EGRET sources have resulted in the discovery of at least 6 new pulsar wind nebulae (PWN).

The imprint of pulsar parameters on the morphology of Pulsar Wind Nebulae

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
The morphology of young Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWN) is largely determined by the properties of the wind injected by the pulsar. We have used a recent parametrization of the wind obtained from Force Free Electrodynamics simulations of pulsar magnetospheres ...

Pulsar Wind Nebulae in the SKA era [PDF]

Proceedings of Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array — PoS(AASKA14), 2014
Neutron stars lose the bulk of their rotational energy in the form of a pulsar wind: an ultra-relativistic outflow of predominantly electrons and positrons.

Theory of Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2007
Our understanding of Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe), has greatly improved in the last years thanks to unprecedented high resolution images taken from the HUBBLE, CHANDRA and XMM satellites.

Fermi-LAT Search for Pulsar Wind Nebulae around gamma-ray Pulsars [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
The high sensitivity of the Fermi-LAT (Large Area Telescope) offers the first opportunity to study faint and extended GeV sources such as pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). After one year of observation the LAT detected and identified three pulsar wind nebulae:

Proton Acceleration with Relativistic Electromagnetic Shock. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
New Ion Acceleration Mechanism! A novel cosmic‐ray proton acceleration mechanism is proposed, where relativistic electromagnetic shocks accelerate protons transversely. Hamiltonian analysis yields a scaling law linking the proton energy to the minimum longitudinal thickness of the shock.
