Evolution of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) could be expected to leave imprints in $\gamma$-rays. We suggest that intriguing GeV-TeV spectral energy distribution (SED) of HESS J1809$-$193 and Fermi-LAT source J1810.3$-$1925e is very likely to…

We study four young Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) detected in TeV gamma-rays, G21.5-0.9, G54.1+0.3, Kes 75, and G0.9+0.1, using the spectral evolution model developed and applied to the Crab Nebula in our previous work. We model the evolution…

We observed the young pulsar J1357--6429 with the {\it Chandra} and {\it XMM-Newton} observatories. The pulsar spectrum fits well a combination of absorbed power-law model ($\Gamma=1.7\pm0.6$) and blackbody model ($kT=140^{+60}_{-40}$ eV,…

HESS J1809-193 is an extended TeV $\gamma$-ray source and the origin of its $\gamma$-ray emission remains ambiguous. Pulsar wind nebula (PWN) of PSR J1809-1917 laying inside the extended $\gamma$-ray emission is a possible candidate.…
