Gaensler et al. 2004! Bow Shock PWNe in the ISM: The Mouse! Patrick Slane (CfA)! SNRs and PWNe in the Chandra Era! • Extremely long PWN produced by! PSR J1747-2958 (l ∼ 17d 5 pc)! - observe X-ray/radio emission from! innermost regions, and long radio tail ! • X-ray image shows compact emission! around pulsar, “tongue” region behind! pulsar, and extended tail! - L x /Ė = 0.02! - tongue corresponds to TS region! - standoff distance implies M ≥ 60! #∴ v ≈ 600 km s -1 ! assuming motion through warm ISM! - consistent w/ R TS B /RTS F > 5 ! • X-ray tail is shocked wind from back! TS region! - outer tail shows steeper spectrum! - long, broad radio tail is combination of! swept-back wind w/ that from behind TS! Boston 2009!
