Estimating the birth period of pulsars through GLAST/LAT observations of their wind nebulae

O. C. de Jager

In this paper we show that the high energy $\gamma$-ray flux in the GeV domain from mature pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) scales as the change in rotational kinetic energy $I({\Omega }_0^2-{\Omega }^2)/2$ s…
