The evolution and structure of pulsar wind nebulae

BM Gaensler, PO Slane - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Pulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds. Confinement of these
outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen across the electromagnetic …

Supernova remnants: the X-ray perspective

J Vink - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2012 - Springer
Supernova remnants are beautiful astronomical objects that are also of high scientific
interest, because they provide insights into supernova explosion mechanisms, and because …

Young core-collapse supernova remnants and their supernovae

RA Chevalier - The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
Massive star supernovae can be divided into four categories, depending on the amount of
mass loss from the progenitor star and the star's radius: red supergiant stars with most of the …

Re-examining the X-ray versus spin-down luminosity correlation of rotation powered pulsars

A Possenti, R Cerutti, M Colpi, S Mereghetti - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 - aanda.org
The empirical relation between the X-ray luminosity (in the 2–10 keV band) and the rate of
spin-down energy loss of a sample of 39 pulsars is re-examined considering recent data …

The gas-to-extinction ratio and the gas distribution in the Galaxy

H Zhu, W Tian, A Li, M Zhang - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the relation between the optical extinction (AV) and the hydrogen column
density (NH) determined from X-ray observations of a large sample of Galactic sightlines …

Neutron star kicks in isolated and binary pulsars: observational constraints and implications for kick mechanisms

C Wang, D Lai, JL Han - The Astrophysical Journal, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We study observational constraints on neutron star (NS) kicks for isolated pulsars and for
NSs in binary systems. We are particularly interested in the evidence of kick-spin alignment …

A multifrequency radio study of supernova remnant G292. 0+ 1.8 and its pulsar wind nebula

BM Gaensler, BJ Wallace - The Astrophysical Journal, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a detailed radio study of the young supernova remnant (SNR) G292. 0+ 1.8 and
its associated pulsar PSR J1124-5916, using the Australia Telescope Compact Array at …

PSR J1124–5916: Discovery of a Young Energetic Pulsar in the Supernova Remnant G292. 0+ 1.8

F Camilo, RN Manchester, BM Gaensler… - The Astrophysical …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery with the Parkes radio telescope of a pulsar associated with the∼
1700 yr old oxygen-rich composite supernova remnant G292. 0+ 1.8. The pulsar PSR J1124 …

SNR G292. 0+ 1.8: A Remnant of a Low-mass-progenitor Stripped-envelope Supernova

T Temim, P Slane, JC Raymond… - The Astrophysical …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a study of the Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G292. 0+ 1.8, a classic
example of a core-collapse SNR that contains oxygen-rich ejecta, circumstellar material, a …
