Contribution of young massive star clusters to Galactic diffuse -ray emission
Stefano Menchiari, Giovanni Morlino, Elena Amato +3
Context: Young massive stellar clusters (YMSCs) have emerged as potential -ray sources, after the recent association of a dozen YMSCs with extended -ray emission. The large s…
The nature of the X-ray filaments around bow shock pulsar wind nebulae
Barbara Olmi, Elena Amato, Rino Bandiera +1
Context. We propose that the X-ray filaments emerging from selected bow shock pulsar wind nebulae are due to a charge-separated outflow of electrons and/or positrons escaping the n…
Cygnus OB2 as a test case for particle acceleration in young massive star clusters
Stefano Menchiari, Giovanni Morlino, Elena Amato +2
In this paper, we focus on the scientific case of Cygnus OB2, a northern sky young massive stellar cluster (YMSC) located towards the Cygnus X star-forming complex. We consider a m…
Particle acceleration in pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae
Elena Amato
These notes summarise the contents of the lectures I delivered at the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" on "Foundations of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics". The lectures were…
