Finest persistent structures in the Vela PWN
Abstract
Based on eleven 40 ks Chandra ACIS observations of the Vela pulsar wind nebula (PWN) we discuss the small-scale structure of the inner PWN: a Bright Spot on the outer arc, a Bar at the base of the south-eastern jet, and a Knot between the pulsar and the Bar. These features can be used to understand the complex 3D structure of the outflow.
