Axially symmetric relativistic MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Supernova Remnants
Axially symmetric relativistic MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Supernova Remnants
The structure and the evolution of Pulsar Wind Nebulae (PWNe) are studied by means of two-dimensional axisymmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) simulations. After the first imaging of the Crab Nebula with Chandra, a growing number of objects has been found to show in the X-rays spatial features such as rings and …
