Turbulent magnetic relaxation in pulsar wind nebulae
Jonathan Zrake, Jonathan Arons
We present a model for magnetic energy dissipation in a pulsar wind nebula. Better understanding of this process is required to assess the likelihood that certain astrophysical tra…
The Maximum Energy of Accelerated Particles in Relativistic Collisionless Shocks
Lorenzo Sironi, Anatoly Spitkovsky, Jonathan Arons
The afterglow emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is usually interpreted as synchrotron radiation from electrons accelerated at the GRB external shock, that propagates with relat…
Chandra, Keck and VLA Observations of the Crab Nebula during the 2011-April Gamma-ray Flare
Martin C. Weisskopf, Allyn F. Tennant, Roger Blandford +21
We present results from our analysis of Chandra X-ray Observatory, W. M. Keck Observatory, and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) images of the Crab Nebula that were contemporan…
Pulsar Wind Nebulae as Cosmic Pevatrons: A Current Sheet's Tale
Jonathan Arons
I outline, from a theoretical and somewhat personal perspective, significant features of Pulsar Wind Nebulae as Cosmic Accelerators. I discuss recent studies of Pulsar Wind Nebulae…
A Tale of Two Current Sheets
Jonathan Arons
I outline a new model of particle acceleration in the current sheet separating the closed from the open field lines in the force-free model of pulsar magnetospheres, based on recon…
Modeling the spectral evolution of PWNe inside SNRs
N. Bucciantini, J. Arons, E. Amato
We present a new model for the spectral evolution of Pulsar Wind Nebulae inside Supernova Remnants. The model couples the long-term dynamics of these systems, as derived in the 1-D…
