G292.0+1.8 is the Cas A-like supernova remnant containing the young pulsar PSR J1124-5916, which powers a compact torus-like pulsar wind nebula with a jet visible in X-rays. We have performed deep optical observations of the pulsar field to…

We review multiwavelength properties of pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) created by supersonically moving pulsars and the effects of pulsar motion on the PWN morphologies and the ambient medium. Supersonic pulsar wind nebulae (SPWNe) are…

In a Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN), the lifetime of inverse Compton emitting electrons exceeds the lifetime of its progenitor pulsar, but it exceeds also the age of the electrons that emit via synchrotron radiation; i.e. while the PWN grows…

We discuss PSR J1740+1000, one of five pulsars recently discovered in a search of 470 square degrees at 430 MHz during the upgrade of the 305-m Arecibo telescope. The period of 154 ms and period derivative of 2.1 x 10^-14 s/s imply a…

We analyzed X-ray data from Chandra, XMM-Newton, NICER, and NuSTAR to characterize the properties of the pulsar PSR J1838$-$0655 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with HESS J1837$-$069. Based on 5.5 years of NICER monitoring, we…

Fast-rotating pulsars and magnetars have been suggested as the central engines of super-luminous supernovae (SLSNe) and fast radio bursts, and this scenario naturally predicts non-thermal synchrotron emission from their nascent pulsar wind…

Suzaku observed the region including HESS J1809-193, one of the TeV unidentified (unID) sources, and confirmed existence of the extended hard X-ray emission previously reported by ASCA, as well as hard X-ray emission from the pulsar PSR…

We present results of a 400-ks Chandra observation of the young shell supernova remnant (SNR) G11.2-0.3, containing a pulsar and pulsar-wind nebula (PWN). We measure a mean expansion rate for the shell since 2000 of 0.0277+/-0.0018% per yr,…

The association of G343.1-2.3 and PSR 1706-44 has been controversial from its first proposal. In this paper we address the difficulties, and argue that the association is still likely. New evidence comes from images of G343.1-2.3 obtained…
