Multi-wavelength Emission for a Post-merger Magnetar: The Magnetar-Driven Poynting Jet and Its Associated Pulsar Wind Nebula

Yun-Peng Li, Da-Bin Lin, Ning-Yuan Zhang +1

A newborn, rapidly rotating magnetar may form in a binary neutron star merger and drive a Poynting-flux-dominated relativistic jet. As the jet propagates outward, a forward shock (…
