A possible optical counterpart to the old nearby pulsar J0108-1431
R. P. Mignani, G. G. Pavlov, O. Kargaltsev
The multi-wavelength study of old (>100 Myr) radio pulsars holds the key to understanding the long-term evolution of neutron stars, including the advanced stages of neutron star co…
Pulsar Wind Nebulae in the Chandra Era
O. Kargaltsev, G. G. Pavlov
Pulsar winds shocked in the ambient medium produce spectacular nebulae observable from the radio through gamma-rays. The shape and the spectrum of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) depend…
Chandra Observation of PSR B1823-13 and its Pulsar Wind Nebula
G. G. Pavlov, O. Kargaltsev, W. F. Brisken
We report on an observation of the Vela-like pulsar B1823-13 and its synchrotron nebula with Chandra.The pulsar's spectrum fits a power-law model with a photon index Gamma_PSR=2.4…
TeV source HESS J1804-216 in X-rays and other wavelengths
O. Kargaltsev, G. G. Pavlov, G. P. Garmire
The field of the extended TeV source HESS J1804-216 was serendipitously observed with the Chandra ACIS detector. The data reveal several X-ray sources within the bright part of HES…
UV emission from young and middle-aged pulsars: Connecting X-rays with the optical
O. Kargaltsev, G. G. Pavlov
We present the UV spectroscopy and timing of three nearby pulsars (Vela, B0656+14 and Geminga) recently observed with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. We also review the o…
X-ray emission from the double neutron star binary B1534+12: Powered by the pulsar wind?
O. Kargaltsev, G. G. Pavlov, G. P. Garmire
We report the detection of the double neutron star binary (DNSB) B1534+12 (= J1537+1155) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This DNSB (orbital period 10.1 hr) consists of the mill…
