Jets and tori of a young pulsar PSR B1509-58
Abstract
We have studied the spatial structure of the pulsar wind nebula of the 150 ms young pulsar PSR B1509-58 with the long-exposure Chandra observations. The pulsar wind parameters (velocity and the magnetization parameters) have been derived from the detailed study of the vicinity of the pulsar. The geometry and dynamics of the system is discussed in conjunction with the spatial and velocity structure of the bright knots of RCW 89, an H-alpha and X-ray nebula excited by the large-scale jet of the pulsar.
