3 Pulsars in PWNe Crab (Chandra) l Pulse lumi. ~ a few % x L spin Most of L spin releases as pulsar wind! l ~ 50 of 2000 pulsars have observable PWNe. (L spin > erg/s). P - P diagram erg/s 3C58 (Chandra + VLA) L spin = IΩ Ω l Bow-shock PWNe are around MSP of L spin < erg/s How about other classes of pulsar? 3

4 Magnetar Wind Nebulae? PWNe are found around High-B radio pulsar. One of young TeV PWN around high-b radio pulsar Observed extended emission may be dust-scattering halo for 1E (e.g., Olausen+11) 4

5 Magnetar Wind l Magnetars have large surface B-field ( > 3x10 14 G) and some have L x > L spin B-powered emission?. l Magnetars have P Wind loss Ṁ wind R LC L wind c = L spin for RPP L X [erg/s] Angular momentum loss!! L x = L spin Photon loss Ṁ ph (R NS + ) L ph B c NS [G] L spin [erg/s] Even L x > L spin, wind angular momentum loss would dominate for magnetars from this simple estimate. 5

6 What We Learn from MWN l PWN spectrum tells us spin evolution of pulsar => How about MWN? l Does a millisecond magnetar exist? l Difference of wind properties from rotation powered pulsar (RPP). l magnetization: σ? pair multiplicity: κ? l Testing fall-back disk model of magnetar. l Disk model does not produce MWN because no wind flows out from magnetosphere. 6

While the synchrotron flux decreases with time, the inverse Compton flux increases. This l spin-evolution of central pulsars feature is due to the decrease of the magnetic field strength with time and to the increase of the particle number as seen in the right panel. Because the energy injection from the pulsar will l predictions to γ-ray flux continue till the time t τ = 3.9kyr, the particles in the PWN increase (see the discussion in -3 for lin the η~10 allof theexcept Section in details). left panel, we can see the evolution synchrotron cooling for Kes 75 infrared observation (Gallant & Tuffs, 1998) in the spectral fitting.
