41 DA 495 Extrapolating the evolution of DA 495: Let us evolve the flux density and the magnetic field into the future, assuming constant energy. B-fields in PWNe 25 / 31
42 DA 495 Extrapolating the evolution of DA 495: Let us evolve the flux density and the magnetic field into the future, assuming constant energy. If we expand DA 495 it would become invisible when we double its size, in either direction. B-fields in PWNe 25 / 31
43 DA 495 Extrapolating the evolution of DA 495: Let us evolve the flux density and the magnetic field into the future, assuming constant energy. If we expand DA 495 it would become invisible when we double its size, in either direction. This would result in an invisible object that still produces a Faraday rotation of rad/m 2 for polarized emission coming from its background. B-fields in PWNe 25 / 31
44 DA 495 B-fields in PWNe 26 / 31
45 PWNe seem to contain radial and toroidal B-fields, but radial field dominates. The typical magnetic field model for stellar winds is not sufficient to explain the observations. Faraday rotation seems to significantly increase, because the reverse shock pushes the ejecta back into the PWN. Very old PWNe will turn into objects that cannot be seen in emission and may become Faraday lenses. B-fields in PWNe 27 / 31
