The synchrotron emission observed in plerions depends on the characteristics of the magnetic fields and relativistic electrons in these supernova remnants. Therefore an analysis of the spectral and spatial properties of this emission,…
Recently, a fast radio burst (FRB)-like event is found to be associated with a Galactic magnetar, SGR 1935+2154, accompanied by an X-ray burst. We find this radio burst challenges the typical emission mechanisms involving magnetars, which…
We present a statistical analysis of the X-ray luminosity of rotation powered pulsars and their surrounding nebulae using the sample of Kargaltsev & Pavlov (2008) and we complement this with an analysis of the gamma-ray-emission of Fermi…
We present Particle-in-Cell simulation results of relativistic shear boundary layers between electron-ion and electron-positron plasmas and discuss their potential applications to astrophysics. Specifically, we find in the case of a fast…
We investigated the multiband emission from the pulsar binaries XSS J12270-4859, PSR J2039-5617, and PSR J2339-0533, which exhibit orbital modulation in the X-ray and gamma-ray bands. We constructed the sources' broadband spectral energy…
The general properties of the non-thermal non-pulsed X-ray emission of rotation powered pulsars are investigated in the context of a pulsar wind nebula model. An examination of the observed X-ray emission from a sample of 23 pulsars from…
Among a sample of 140 OB associations and clusters, we want to identify probable parent associations for the Guitar pulsar (PSR B2224+65) which would then also constrain its age. For this purpose, we are using an Euler-Cauchy technique…
We present the first images of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) MSH 15-52 in the hard X-ray band (>8 keV), as measured with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). Overall, the morphology of the PWN as measured by NuSTAR in the 3-7…
In this paper, we propose a new scenario in which a rapidly-rotating strongly-magnetized pulsar without any surrounding supernova ejecta produces fast radio bursts (FRBs) repeatedly via some mechanisms, and meanwhile, an ultra-relativistic…
We present a systematic study of the non-thermal electron-proton plasma and its emission processes in starburst galaxies in order to explain the correlation between the luminosity in the radio band and the recently observed gamma…
The recent discovery of PeV electrons from the Crab nebula, produced on rapid time scales of one day or less with a sharply peaked gamma-ray spectrum without hard X-rays, challenges traditional models of diffusive shock acceleration…
We present results from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the radio pulsar B1046-58. A high-resolution spatial analysis reveals an asymmetric pulsar wind nebula (PWN) ~6"x11" in size. The combined emission from the pulsar and its PWN…
In this Letter we re-examine the idea that gravitational waves are required as a braking mechanism to explain the observed maximum spin-frequency of neutron stars. We show that for millisecond X-ray pulsars, the existence of spin…
PSR J1833-1034 and its associated Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) has been investigated in depth through X-ray observations ranging from 0.1 to 200 keV. The low energy X-ray data from Chandra reveal a complex morphology that is characterised by a…
The properties of fast radio bursts (FRBs) indicate that the physical origin of this type of astrophysical phenomenon is related to neutron stars. The first detected repeating source, FRB 121102, is associated with a persistent radio…
We find that a non-axisymmetric bow shock model, with an appropriate choice of parameters, could fit the line splitting velocity field of the cone-like H$\alpha$ nebula in NGC 4945 better than a canonical cone model. Meanwhile, the bow…
We present hydrodynamical simulations, using a 2-D two component model (ambient medium and pul sar wind have different specific heat ratios), of bow shocks in a representative regime for pu lsar wind driven bow-shock nebulae. We also…

Bow shock pulsar wind nebulae are a large class of non-thermal synchrotron sources associated to old pulsars, that have emerged from their parent supernova remnant and are directly interacting with the interstellar medium. Within this class…
The energetic electromagnetic eruptions observed during the prompt phase of gamma-ray bursts are attributed to synchrotron emissions. The internal shocks moving through the ultrarelativistic jet, which is ejected by an imploding…
