We present the results of detailed spatial and spectral analysis of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) in supernova remnant Kes 75 (G29.7-0.3) using a deep exposure with Chandra X-ray observatory. The PWN shows a complex morphology with clear axisymmetric
structure. We identified a one-sided jet and two bright clumps aligned with the overall nebular elongation, and an arc-like feature perpendicular to the jet direction. Further spatial modeling with a torus and jet model indicates a position angle $207arcdegpm8 arcdeg$ for the PWN symmetry axis. We interpret the arc as an equatorial torus or wisp and the clumps could be shock interaction between the jets and the surrounding medium. The lack of any observable counter jet implies a flow velocity larger than 0.4c. Comparing to an archival observation 6 years earlier, some small-scale features in the PWN demonstrate strong variability: the flux of the inner jet doubles and the peak of the northern clump broadens and shifts 2 outward. In addition, the pulsar flux increases by 6 times, showing substantial spectral softening from $Gamma$=1.1 to 1.9 and an emerging thermal component which was not observed in the first epoch. The changes in the pulsar spectrum are likely related to the magnetar-like bursts of the pulsar that occurred 7 days before the Chandra observation, as recently reported from RXTE observations.
We present detailed Fourier modeling of the radio remnant of Supernova 1987A, using high-resolution 9 GHz and 18 GHz data taken with the Australia Telescope Compact Array over the period 1992 to 2008. We develop a parameterized three-dimensional toru
s model for the expanding radio shell, in which the emission is confined to an inclined equatorial belt; our model also incorporates both a correction for light travel-time effects and an overall east-west gradient in the radio emissivity. By deriving an analytic expression for the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the projected three-dimensional brightness distribution, we can fit our spatial model directly to the interferometric visibility data. This provides robust estimates to the radio morphology at each epoch. The best-fit results suggest a constant remnant expansion at 4000 +/- 400 km/s over the 16-year period covered by the observations. The model fits also indicate substantial mid-latitude emission, extending to 40 degree on either side of the equatorial plane. This likely corresponds to the extra-planar structure seen in H$alpha$ and Ly$alpha$ emission from the supernova reverse shock, and broadly supports hydrodynamic models in which the complex circumstellar environment was produced by a progression of interacting winds from the progenitor. Our model quantifies the clear asymmetry seen in the radio images: we find that the eastern half of the radio remnant is consistently ~40 brighter than the western half at all epochs, which may result from an asymmetry in the ejecta distribution between these two hemispheres.
We have applied the torus fitting procedure described in Ng & Romani (2004) to PWNe observations in the Chandra data archive. This study provides quantitative measurement of the PWN geometry and we characterize the uncertainties in the fits, with sta
tistical errors coming from the fit uncertainties and systematic errors estimated by varying the assumed fitting model. The symmetry axis $Psi$ of the PWN are generally well determined, and highly model-independent. We often derive a robust value for the spin inclination $zeta$. We briefly discuss the utility of these results in comparison with new radio and high energy pulse measurements
