Pulsar-wind nebulae in X-rays and TeV gamma-rays

Understand

Pulsars are known to be efficient accelerators that produce copious amounts of relativistic particles and inject them into the Galactic medium.

• The radiation emitted by such a pulsar wind can be seen from radio through gamma-rays as a pulsar-wind nebula (PWN).
• Here we overview and summarize recent progress in X-ray and TeV observations of PWNe.
