The evolution and structure of pulsar wind nebulae
Pulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds. Confinement of these
outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen across the electromagnetic …

The surprising Crab pulsar and its nebula: a review
R Bühler, R Blandford - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
The Crab nebula and its pulsar (referred to together as 'the Crab') have historically played a
central role in astrophysics. True to this legacy, several unique discoveries have been made …

Gamma-ray flares from the Crab Nebula
A young and energetic pulsar powers the well-known Crab Nebula. Here, we describe two
separate gamma-ray (photon energy greater than 100 mega–electron volts) flares from this …

The Crab Nebula: an astrophysical chimera
JJ Hester - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2008 - annualreviews.org
The Crab Nebula, henceforth the Crab, the remnant of the historical supernova of 1054 AD,
has long been of intense interest. The pulsar at the center of the Crab has a spin-down …

Acceleration of particles at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind
The relativistic wind of obliquely rotating pulsars consists of toroidal stripes of opposite
magnetic field polarity, separated by current sheets of hot plasma. By means of two-and …

Discovery of powerful gamma-ray flares from the Crab Nebula
The well-known Crab Nebula is at the center of the SN1054 supernova remnant. It consists
of a rotationally powered pulsar interacting with a surrounding nebula through a relativistic …

Pulsar wind nebulae in the Chandra era
Pulsar winds shocked in the ambient medium produce spectacular nebulae observable from
the radio through γ‐rays. The shape and the spectrum of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) …
