Multi-Zone Modeling of The Pulsar Wind Nebula HESS J1825-137

Abstract

The pulsar wind nebula associated with PSR J1826-1334, HESS J1825-137, is a bright very high energy source with an angular extent of ~1 degree and spatially-resolved spectroscopic TeV measurements. The gamma-ray spectral index is observed to soften with increasing distance from the pulsar, likely the result of cooling losses as electrons traverse the nebula. We describe analysis of X-ray data of the extended nebula, as well as 3-D time-dependent spectral energy distribution modeling, with emphasis on the spatial variations within HESS J1825-137. The multi-wavelength data places significant constraints on electron injection, transport, and cooling within the nebula. The large size and high nebular energy budget imply a relatively rapid initial pulsar spin period of 13 \pm 7 ms and an age of 40 \pm 9 kyr. The relative fluxes of each VHE zone can be explained by advective particle transport with a radially decreasing velocity profile with $v(r)\propto r^{-0.5}$. The evolution of the cooling break requires an evolving magnetic field which also decreases radially from the pulsar, $B(r,t)\propto r^{-0.7}\dot{E}(t{)}^{1/2}$. Detection of 10 TeV flux ~80 pc from the pulsar requires rapid diffusion of high energy particles with ${\tau }_{esc}\approx 90(R/10pc{)}^2(E_e/100TeV{)}^{-1}$ year, contrary to the common assumption of toroidal magnetic fields with strong magnetic confinement. The model predicts a rather uniform Fermi LAT surface brightness out to ~1 degree from the pulsar, in good agreement with the recently discovered LAT source centered 0.5 degree southwest of PSR J1826-1334 with extension 0.6 \pm 0.1 degree.
