Classification of Unidentified Extended LHAASO Sources based on their Gamma-Ray Morphology: Prospects for Future IACTs

Alberto Bonollo, Paolo Esposito, Andrea Giulisni +4

While Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are widely considered the primary accelerators of cosmic rays (CRs) up to hundreds of TeV, they struggle to account for the CR flux at PeV energies,…

Morphology of Young Massive Stellar Clusters with Next-Generation IACTs

Alberto Bonollo, Paolo Esposito, Andrea Giuliani +5

The term PeVatron designates astrophysical objects capable of accelerating particles to PeV energies. Their nature and particle acceleration mechanisms are uncertain, but ultra-hig…

IXPE detection of highly polarized X-rays from the magnetar 1E 1841-045

Michela Rigoselli, Roberto Taverna, Sandro Mereghetti +12

The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed for the first time highly polarized X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 1841-045, targeted after a burst-active phase in Augu…

The role of XMM-Newton in the investigation of persistent BeXRBs

N. La Palombara, L. Sidoli, S. Mereghetti +5

The persistent BeXRBs are a class of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXRBs), which are characterized by persistent low X-ray luminosities ( erg s) and wid…

Long-term study of the 2020 magnetar-like outburst of the young pulsar PSRJ1846-0258 in Kes 75

Rajath Sathyaprakash, Nanda Rea, Francesco Coti Zelati +14

Magnetar-like activity has been observed in a large variety of neutron stars. PSR J1846-0258 is a young 327 ms radio-quiet pulsar with a large rotational power ($\sim 8 \times 10^{…

Isolated Neutron Stars

Alice Borghese, Paolo Esposito

Non-accreting neutron stars display diverse characteristics, leading us to classify them into several groups. This chapter is an observational driven review in which we survey the…

Systematic study of magnetar outbursts

Francesco Coti Zelati, Nanda Rea, Jose Pons +2

We present the results of the systematic study of all magnetar outbursts observed to date, through a reanalysis of data acquired in about 1100 X-ray observations. We track the temp…

X-rays from the mode-switching PSR B0943+10

S. Mereghetti, L. Kuiper, A. Tiengo +15

New simultaneous X-ray and radio observations of the archetypal mode-switching pulsar PSR B0943+10 have been carried out with XMM-Newton and the LOFAR, LWA and Arecibo radio telesc…

Study of the accretion torque during the 2014 outburst of the X-ray pulsar GRO J1744-28

A. Sanna, A. Riggio, L. Burderi +9

We present the spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray pulsar GRO J1744-28 during its 2014 outburst using data collected with the X-ray satellites Swift, INTEGRAL, Chandra, and X…

Detection of Gamma-Ray Emission from the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula with AGILE

A. Pellizzoni, A. Trois, M. Tavani +68

Pulsars are known to power winds of relativistic particles that can produce bright nebulae by interacting with the surrounding medium. These pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) are observed…
