FERMI-LAT SEARCH FOR PULSAR WIND NEBULAE AROUND GAMMA-RAY PULSARS [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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: the Crab Nebula, Vela-X and the PWN inside MSH 15-52.

An X-Ray Synchrotron Shell and a Pulsar: The Peculiar Supernova Remnant G32.4+0.1

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present a deep Chandra observation of the shell supernova remnant (SNR) G32.4+0.1, whose featureless X-ray spectrum has led to its classification as an X-ray synchrotron-dominated SNR. We find a partial shell morphology whose outline is quite circular,

NuSTAR and XMM-Newton Observations of PSR J1930+1852 and Its Pulsar Wind Nebula

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Synchrotron X-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) is a sensitive probe of its magnetic field and high-energy particle population. Here we analyze contemporaneous NuSTAR and XMM - Newton observations of the PWN G54.1+0.3, powered by pulsar PSR ...

The Pulsar Wind Nebula in G11.2−0.3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2003
We present an X-ray and radio study of the wind nebula surrounding the central pulsar PSR J1811-1925 in the supernova remnant G11.2-0.3. Using high resolution data obtained with the Chandra X-ray observatory and with the VLA radio telescope we show the X-ray and radio emission is asymmetric around the pulsar, despite the latter's central position in ...

The Vela Pulsar and Its Pulsar Wind Nebula Vela-X Using 13 Yr of Fermi-LAT Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present results of more than 13 yr of Fermi–Large Area Telescope (LAT) data analysis for the Vela pulsar from 60 MeV to 100 GeV and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN), Vela X, for E  > 1 GeV in the off-pulse phases.

Turbulent Transport Characteristics of the Particles within Pulsar Wind Nebulae 3C58 and G54.1+0.3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Turbulent transport characteristics of the particles within two Crab-like pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), 3C58 and G54.1+0.3, are investigated in the framework of a time-dependent turbulent diffusion model.

Radio Observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in Supernova Remnant G11.2−0.3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are important sources for understanding galactic high-energy processes, but it is controversial until now how high-energy particles in PWNe are accelerated and transported. Lacking radio counterparts of X-ray PWNe (the proposed

High-resolution Radio Study of Pulsar Wind Nebula MSH 15–52 and Supernova Remnant RCW 89

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present high-resolution radio observations of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) MSH 15–5 2 , which is renowned for its distinctive handlike shape, and its associated supernova remnant RCW 89. Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we obtained 3 and 6
