TeV Measurements of Young Pulsars and Supernova Remnants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Observations have been made with the University of Durham Mark 6 telescope of a number of supernova remnants and young pulsars (Vela pulsar, PSR B1055–52, PSR J1105–6107, PSR J0537–6910 and PSR B0540–69). No VHE gamma ray emission, either steady or pulsed, has been detected from these objects.

The Radio Lifetime of Supernova Remnants and the Distribution of Pulsar Velocities at Birth
We have made VLA images of the elds around three young pulsars which have resulted in the discovery of two new supernova remnants and connrmation of a third. We argue that, in at least two cases and perhaps the third, the pulsars are physically associated with these supernova remnants. A review of all known young pulsars shows that the majority are associated with supernova remnants. We show th...
متن کاملA New View on Young Pulsars in Supernova Remnants : Slow , Radio - quiet & X - ray Bright
We propose a simple explanation for the apparent dearth of radio pulsars associated with young supernova remnants (SNRs). Recent X-ray observations of young remnants have revealed slowly rotating (P ∼ 10s) central pulsars with pulsed emission above 2 keV, lacking in detectable radio emission. Some of these objects apparently have enormous magnetic fields, evolving in a manner distinct from the ...
متن کاملA search for pulsars in supernova remnants
We have carried out a sensitive search for young pulsars associated with supernova remnants using the 76–m Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The observations were made at 606 MHz using a system with a bandwidth of 8 MHz and a set noise temperature on cold sky of about 50 K. The survey targeted 33 remnants in the northern hemisphere and achieved a nominal sensitivity of ∼ 1 mJy in most cas...
متن کاملBinary and Millisecond Pulsars
Most of the ~600 known pulsars are single and located in the disk of our Galaxy. There is circumstantial evidence that the pulsars in this majority are created in supernova (SN) explosions, by the collapse of the cores of massive stars (initial mass Mi >~ Met "~ 8 Mo). One is created roughly every 100 y in the Galaxy. Figure 1 is a plot of the pulse period (P) versus the dipole field strength (...
متن کاملNeutron Star/supernova Rem- Nant Associations
We summarize the current observational evidence for associations between supernova remnants and neutron stars, including radio pulsars, proposed “inactive” young neutron stars, “anomalous” X-ray pulsars, and soft gamma-ray repeaters, and argue that the paradigm that all young neutron stars are Crab-like requires reconsideration.
