Constraining the geometry of PSR J0855-4644: a nearby pulsar wind nebula with double torus/jet morphology
(EDP Sciences, 2017)Aims. PSR J0855−4644 is a fast-spinning, energetic pulsar discovered at radio wavelengths near the south-eastern rim of the supernova remnant RX J0852.0−4622. A follow-up XMM-Newton observation revealed the X-ray counterpart ... -
Discovery and follow-up studies of the extended, off-plane, VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1507-622
(EDP Sciences, 2011)Context. The detection of gamma-rays in the very-high-energy (VHE) range (100 GeV−100 TeV) offers the possibility of studying the parent population of ultrarelativistic particles found in astrophysical sources, so it is ... -
HESS J1818-154, a new composite supernova remnant discovered in TeV gamma rays and X-rays
(EDP Sciences, 2014)Composite supernova remnants (SNRs) constitute a small subclass of the remnants of massive stellar explosions where non-thermal radiation is observed from both the expanding shell-like shock front and from a pulsar wind ... -
Resonant inverse Compton scattering spectra from highly magnetized neutron stars
(IOP Publishing, 2018)Hard, nonthermal, persistent pulsed X-ray emission extending between 10 and ~150 keV has been observed in nearly 10 magnetars. For inner-magnetospheric models of such emission, resonant inverse Compton scattering of soft ...
