Title: | A Laminar Model for the Magnetic Field Structure in Bow-Shock Pulsar Wind Nebulae | Authors: | BUCCIANTINI, NICCOLO' | Issue Date: | 2018 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 478 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | 2074 | Abstract: | Bow Shock Pulsar Wind Nebulae are a class of non-thermal sources, that form when the wind of a pulsar moving at supersonic speed interacts with the ambient medium, either the ISM or in a few cases the cold ejecta of the parent supernova. These systems have attracted attention in recent years, because they allow us to investigate the properties of the pulsar wind in a different environment from that of canonical Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Supernova Remnants. However, due to the complexity of the interaction, a full-fledged multidimensional analysis is still laking. We present here a simplified approach, based on Lagrangian tracers, to model the magnetic field structure in these systems, and use it to compute the magnetic field geometry, for various configurations in terms of relative orientation of the magnetic axis, pulsar speed and observer direction. Based on our solutions we have computed a set of radio emission maps, including polarization, to investigate the variety of possible appearances, and how the observed emission pattern can be used to constrain the orientation of the system, and the possible presence of turbulence. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28060 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1805.01653v1 https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2018MNRAS.478.2074B https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/478/2/2074/4993267 |
