The nature of the X-ray halo of the plerion G21.5-0.9 unveiled by XMM-Newton and Chandra
F. Bocchino, E. van der Swaluw, R. Chevalier +1
The nature of the radio-quiet X-ray halo around the plerionic SNR G21.5-0.9 is under debate. On the basis of spatial and spectral analysis of a large Chandra and XMM-Newton dataset…
Convective magneto-rotational instabilities in accretion disks
Eric van der Swaluw, Jan-Willem Blokland, Rony Keppens
We present a study of instabilities occuring in thick magnetized accretion disks. We calculate the growth rates of these instabilities and characterise precisely the contribution o…
MHD Interaction of Pulsar Wind Nebulae with SNRs and the ISM
Eric van der Swaluw
In the late 1960s the discovery of the Crab pulsar in its associated supernova remnant, launched a new field in supernova remnant research: the study of pulsar-driven or plerionic…
Superbubbles and Energetic Particles in the Galaxy. I: Collective effects of particle acceleration
E. Parizot, A. Marcowith, E. van der Swaluw +2
Observations indicate that most massive stars in the Galaxy appear in groups, called OB associations, where their strong wind activity generates large structures known as superbubb…
A Key to Pulsar Wind Bubble Morphologies: HD simulations
Eric van der Swaluw, Turlough P. Downes
We present a model of a pulsar-driven supernova remnant, by using a hydrodynamics code, which simulates the evolution of a pulsar wind nebula when the pulsar is moving at a high ve…
Do we really observe a bow shock in N157B...?
Eric van der Swaluw
I present a model of a pulsar wind interacting with its associated supernova remnant. I will use the model to argue that one can explain the morphology of the pulsar wind nebula in…
