We present a study of the composite supernova remnant G0.9+0.1 based on observations by XMM-Newton. The EPIC spectrum shows diffuse X-ray emission from the region corresponding to the radio shell. The X-ray spectrum of the whole Pulsar Wind Nebula is well fitted by an absorbed power-law model with a photon index Gamma ~ 1.9 and a 2-10 keV luminosity of about 6.5 X 10^34 d^2_10 erg s^-1 (d_10 is the distance in units of 10 kpc). However, there is a clear softening of the X-ray spectrum with distance from the core, which is most probably related to the finite lifetime of the synchrotron emitting electrons. This is fully consistent with the plerionic interpretation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula, in which an embedded pulsar injects energetic electrons into its surrounding region. At smaller scales, the eastern part of the arc-like feature, which was first revealed by Chandra observations, shows indications of a hard X-ray spectrum with a corresponding small photon index (Gamma=1.0 +- 0.7), while the western part presents a significantly softer spectrum (Gamma=3.2 +- 0.7). A possible explanation for this feature is fast rotation and subsequent Doppler boosting of electrons: the eastern part of the torus has a velocity component pointing towards the observer, while the western part has a velocity component in the opposite direction pointing away from the observer.
We present observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) within the supernova remnant G0.9+0.1. At Chandras high resolution, the PWN has a clear axial symmetry; a faint X-ray point source lying along the symmetry axi
We have constructed and calibrated a spherically-symmetric, spatially-dependent particle transport and emission code for young pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). This code predicts the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the radiation spectrum at differen
CTB 87 (G74.9+1.2) is an evolved supernova remnant (SNR) which hosts a peculiar pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The X-ray peak is offset from that observed in radio and lies towards the edge of the radio nebula. The putative pulsar, CXOU~J201609.2+371110,
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is rich in supernova remnants (SNRs) which can be investigated in detail with radio, optical and X-ray observations. SNR J0453-6829 is an X-ray and radio-bright remnant in the LMC, within which previous studies reveal
Aims: We present a detailed view of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) HESS J1825-137. We aim to constrain the mechanisms dominating the particle transport within the nebula, accounting for its anomalously large size and spectral characteristics. Methods:
