Pulsar wind nebulae created by fast-moving pulsars [PDF]
Journal of Plasma Physics, 2017 We review multiwavelength properties of pulsar wind nebulae created by supersonically moving pulsars and the effects of pulsar motion on the pulsar wind nebulae morphologies and the ambient medium. Supersonic pulsar wind nebulae are characterized by bow-shaped shocks around the pulsar and/or cometary tails filled with the shocked pulsar wind.

Neutrinos from the pulsar wind nebulae [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 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.

PULSAR WIND NEBULAE MODELING [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2014 Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are ideal astrophysical laboratories where high energy relativistic phenomena can be investigated. They are close, well resolved in our observations, and the knowledge derived in their study has a strong impact in many other fields, from AGNs to GRBs.

Supernova remnants in nearby galaxies
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 341, Issue 2, Page 156-162, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Supernova remnants (SNRs) are the aftermath of stellar explosions, which inject large amounts of energy into the interstellar medium (ISM), carving out new structures and transferring kinetic energy to the ISM. They also act as recycling centers, which return elements processed in stars to the ISM, and cosmic particle accelerators.

X-RAY EVOLUTION OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 During the search for counterparts of very-high-energy gamma-ray sources, we serendipitously discovered large, extended, low surface brightness emission from PWNe around pulsars with the ages up to ~100 kyrs, a discovery made possible by the low and stable background of the Suzaku X-ray satellite.

Magnetic Reconnection in the Space Sciences: Past, Present, and Future
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 125, Issue 2, February 2020., 2020 Abstract Magnetic reconnection converts, often explosively, stored magnetic energy to particle energy in space and in the laboratory. Through processes operating on length scales that are tiny, it facilitates energy conversion over dimensions of, in some cases, hundreds of Earth radii.

Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Egret Error Boxes [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2005 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). Stationary PWN (SPWN) appear to be associated with steady EGRET sources with hard spectra, typical for gamma-ray pulsars ...

A new approach to generate a catalogue of potential historical novae
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 341, Issue 1, Page 79-98, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Ancient Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese observers left us records of celestial sightings, the so‐called “guest stars” dated up to ∼2500 years ago. Their identification with modern observable targets could open interesting insights into the long‐term behavior of astronomical objects, as shown by the successful identification of eight galactic ...
