The Theory of Pulsar Winds and Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We review current theoretical ideas on pulsar winds and their surrounding nebulae. Relativistic MHD models of the wind of the aligned rotator, and of the striped wind, together with models of magnetic dissipation are discussed. It is shown that the observational signature of this dissipation is likely to be point-like, rather than extended, and that ...

Particle acceleration in Pulsars and Pulsar Wind Nebulae

open access: yesFoundations of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics, 2022
These notes summarise the contents of the lectures I delivered at the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" on "Foundations of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics". The lectures were dealing with the physics of Pulsars and Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) in the Cosmic Ray (CR) perspective.

THE THEORY OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2014
I will review the current status of our theoretical understanding of Pulsar Winds and associated nebulae (PWNe). In recent years, axisymmetric models of pulsar winds with a latitude dependent energy flux have proved very successful at explaining the morphology of PWNe as seen in the X-rays.

Magnetic Reconnection in the Space Sciences: Past, Present, and Future

open access: yesJournal 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.

Turbulent Diffusion of the Particles within Pulsar Wind Nebulae

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
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 ...
