Pulsars and Pulsar Wind Nebulae
2019When heavy stars have burned all their nuclear fuel, neutron degeneracy pressure is the last force able to halt their collapse into a black hole. The sudden stop of the free-fall collapse leads to a rebound of the infalling matter triggering an outward shock that blows up the star envelope and powers a Type II supernova.

Neutron Stars, Pulsars, and Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]
, 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
2018The 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
2016Pulsar 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 ...
