Runaway stars and the Galactic supernova remnant landscape: non-thermal emission and observational evidence
Rowan Batzofin, Kathrin Egberts, Dominique M. -A. Meyer +1
Context. A significant fraction (~30%) of massive stars in our Galaxy are moving supersonically through the interstellar medium, which strongly governs their location at the time t…
3D MHD simulations of runaway pulsars in core collapse supernova remnants
D. M. A. Meyer, D. F. Torres, Z. Meliani
Pulsars are one of the possible final stages in the evolution of massive stars. If a supernova explosion is anisotropic, it can give the pulsar a powerful kick, propelling it to su…
Material mixing in pulsar wind nebulae of massive runaway stars
D. M. -A. Meyer, D. F. Torres
In this study we quantitatively examine the manner pulsar wind, supernova ejecta and defunct stellar wind materials distribute and melt together into plerions. We performed 2.5D MH…
Pulsar wind nebulae meeting the circumstellar medium of their progenitors
D. M. A. Meyer, Z Meliani, D. F. Torres
A significative fraction of high mass stars sail away through the interstellar medium of the galaxies. Once they evolved and died via a core collapse supernova, a magnetized, rotat…
