Prospect of detecting X-ray haloes around middle-aged pulsars with eROSITA

Prospect of detecting X-ray haloes around middle-aged pulsars with eROSITA

The detection of extended TeV $\gamma$-ray emission (dubbed "TeV halos") from Geminga and Monogem pulsars by HAWC collaboration implies that the halo-like morphologies around middle-aged pulsars may be common. The $\gamma$-rays above 10 TeV are thought to arise from inverse Compton (IC) scattering of relativistic electrons/positrons in the pulsar halos …
