Radio/X-ray Synergy to study Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Abstract
Over the last years we did comparative studies of the pulsar wind nebulae DA495, CTB87, G76.9+1.0 and the PWN in the SNR G106.3+2.7 in X-rays with XMM-Newton and CHANDRA and in the radio with the Effelsberg 100-m telescope and the synthesis telescope at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory. We gained a better understanding of the characteristics of the central neutron star and the current PWN through the XMM and CHANDRA X-ray studies and learnt more about the characteristics of the large-scale PWN and its magnetic field through the radio observations. Combining those studies gave us the opportunity to study the evolution of the nebula, its interaction with the surrounding expanding supernova remnant and the history of particle and magnetic field injection into the nebula. We will summarize our results and give a brief outlook into studies with future X-ray and radio telescopes such as eROSITA and radio continuum surveys observed with the Australian SKA Pathfinder ASKAP.
