The evolution and structure of pulsar wind nebulae
Bryan Gaensler,Patrick Slane +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how pulsars steadily dissipate their rotational energy via relativistic winds. Confinement of these outflows generates luminous pulsar wind nebulae, seen across the electromagnetic spectrum in...

Theory of pulsar magnetospheres
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of fundamental physical problems directly related to how pulsars function are discussed, some of which are independent of the specific pulsar mechanism and others relate directly to the physics of the pulsar and already shed some light on the properties of matter at high density and in strong magnetic fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Crab nebula was observed with the H.E.S. stereoscopic Cherenkov-telescope array between 2003 and 2005 for a total of 22.9 hours (after data quality selection).

The plasma physics of shock acceleration
Frank C. Jones,Donald C. Ellison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the history and theory of particle acceleration is presented, paying particular attention to theories of parallel shocks which include the backreaction of accelerated particles on the shock structure, and the work that computer simulations, both plasma and Monte Carlo, are playing in revealing how thermal ions interact with shocks.
