Plerions and pulsar-powered nebulae
arXiv:astro-ph/0012362 · doi:10.1063/1.1377108
Abstract
In this brief review, I discuss recent developments in the study of pulsar-powered nebulae ("plerions"). The large volume of data which has been acquired in recent years reveals a diverse range of observational properties, demonstrating how differing environmental and pulsar properties manifest themselves in the resulting nebulae.
