We present a new X-ray study and multiwavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling of the young pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by the energetic pulsar PSR J1747-2809, inside the composite supernova remnant (SNR) G0.9+0.1,…

Hypernebulae are inflated by accretion-powered winds accompanying hyper-Eddington mass transfer from an evolved post-main sequence star onto a black hole or neutron star companion. The ions accelerated at the termination shock -- where the…

A newborn, rapidly rotating magnetar may form in a binary neutron star merger and drive a Poynting-flux-dominated relativistic jet. As the jet propagates outward, a forward shock (FS) and a reverse shock (RS) are formed, inflating a pulsar…
