THE EVOLUTION OF THE γ- AND X-RAY LUMINOSITIES OF PULSAR WIND NEBULAE
Pulsar wind nebulae are a prominent class of very high energy (E > 0.1 TeV) Galactic sources. Their Gamma-ray spectra are interpreted as due to inverse Compton scattering of ultrarelativistic electrons on the ambient photons, whereas the X-ray spectra are due to synchrotron emission. We investigate the relation between the …
