Constraining the Magnetic Field in the TeV Halo of Geminga with X-Ray Observations
Abstract Recently, the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) collaboration reported the discovery of a TeV halo around the Geminga pulsar. The TeV emission is believed to originate from the inverse Compton scattering of pulsar-injected electrons/positrons off cosmic microwave background photons. During this time, these electrons should inevitably radiate X-ray photons …
