Fitting Pulsar Wind Tori. II. Error Analysis and Applications
Fitting Pulsar Wind Tori. II. Error Analysis and Applications
We have applied the torus-fitting procedure described in our previous works to pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) observations in the Chandra data archive. This study provides quantitative measurements of the PWN geometry, and we characterize the uncertainties in the fits, with statistical errors coming from the fit uncertainties and systematic errors …
