The evolution and structure of pulsar wind nebulae
- B. Gaensler, P. Slane
- Physics
- 4 January 2006
AbstractPulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds. Confinement of these outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen across the electromagnetic spectrum in ...
Nonthermal X-Ray Emission from the Shell-Type Supernova Remnant G347.3-0.5
- P. Slane, B. Gaensler, T. Dame, J. Hughes, P. Plucinsky, A. Green
- Physics
- 1 November 1999
Recent ASCA observations of G347.3-0.5, a supernova remnant (SNR) discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, reveal nonthermal emission from a region along the northwestern shell. Here we report on new…
Cosmic-Ray Acceleration at the Forward Shock in Tycho’s Supernova Remnant: Evidence from Chandra X-Ray Observations
- J. S. Warren, J. Hughes, P. Slane
- Physics
- 20 July 2005
We present evidence for cosmic-ray acceleration at the forward shock in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) from three X-ray observables: (1) the proximity of the contact discontinuity to the forward…
New constraints on the structure and evolution of the pulsar wind Nebula 3C 58
- P. Slane, D. Helfand, E. D. Swaluw, S. M. CfA, Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory, Fom Institute for Plasma Physics
- Physics
- 19 May 2004
We present an investigation of the spectral and spatial structure of the X-ray emission from 3C 58 based on a 350 ks observation with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This deep image, obtained as part…
Psr j1833-1034: discovery of the central young pulsar in the supernova remnant g21.5-0.9
We have discovered the pulsar associated with the supernova remnant G21.5-0.9. PSR J1833-1034, with spin period P = 61.8 ms and dispersion measure 169 cm-3 pc, is very faint, with pulse-averaged flux…
X-Ray Emission From the Shell-Type SNR G347.3-0.5
- P. Slane, B. Gaensler, R. University
- Physics
- 23 June 1999
Recent ASCA observations of G347.3-0.5, an SNR discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey, reveal nonthermal emission from a region along the northwestern shell (Koyama et al. 1997). Here we report on…
RX J0852.0–4622: Another Nonthermal Shell-Type Supernova Remnant (G266.2–1.2)
- P. Slane, J. Hughes, B. Aschenbach
- Physics
- 25 October 2000
The newly discovered supernova remnant G266.2-1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622), along the line of sight to the Vela supernova remnant (SNR), was observed with ASCA for 120 ks. We find that the X-ray spectrum is…
Discovery of X-Ray Pulsations from the Compact Central Source in the Supernova Remnant 3C 58
- S. Murray, P. Slane, F. Seward, S. Ransom, B. J. W. H. C. F. Astrophysics, Massachusetts Institute of Technolgy
- Physics
- 30 August 2001
We report on high time and spatial resolution observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 58 using the High Resolution Camera (HRC) on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. These data show a pointlike…
DISCOVERY OF TeV GAMMA-RAY EMISSION FROM TYCHO’S SUPERNOVA REMNANT
- V. A. Acciari, E. Aliu, B. Zitzer
- Physics
- 18 February 2011
We report the discovery of TeV gamma-ray emission from the Type Ia supernova remnant (SNR) G120.1+1.4, known as Tycho's SNR. Observations performed in the period 2008-2010 with the VERITAS…
Probing X-ray Absorption and Optical Extinction in the Interstellar Medium Using Chandra Observations of Supernova Remnants
- Dillon R. Foight, T. Guver, F. Ozel, P. Slane
- Physics
- 27 April 2015
We present a comprehensive study of interstellar X-ray extinction using the extensive Chandra supernova remnant archive and use our results to refine the empirical relation between the hydrogen…
