Magnetic Fields in Supernova Remnants and Pulsar-Wind Nebulae (2011, background): “The morphology of a PWN in this early phase of evolution has been spectacularly revealed by X-ray images of the Crab Nebula taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory (Weisskopf et al. 2000; Hester et al. 2002).”
Axially symmetric relativistic MHD simulations of Pulsar Wind Nebulae in Supernova Remnants. On the origin of torus and jet-like features (2004, background): “In the above discussion reference was made to the simulation with α = 0.1 and σ = 0.003 (the latter is the standard value deduced for the Crab Nebula from 1-”
Synchrotron nebulae created by anisotropic magnetized pulsar winds (2004, methodology): “This so-called ‘jet–torus’ structure had already been seen in earlier observations by Brinkmann et al. (1985) and Hester et al. (1995), but the recent Chandra data show this structure in greater detail (Weisskopf et al. 2000; Hester et al. 2002).”
Three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the Crab nebula (2013, methodology): “In X-rays, the real inner ring is very bright, knotty, and rather symmetric, and it does not seem have a counterpart in the optical images of the nebula (Weisskopf et al. 2000; Hester et al. 2002).”
The Variable Jet of the Vela Pulsar (2003, methodology): “Particularly detailed Chandra images have been obtained for PWNs around the Crab pulsar (Mori et al. 2002; Hester et al. 2002), Vela pulsar (Helfand, Gotthelf, & Halpern 2001; Pavlov et al. 2001a), and PSR B1509 58 (Gaensler et al. 2002).”
Fitting Pulsar Wind Tori (2003, unknown): “For the Crab Nebula, our fit value compares well with the 0:5 found for the motions of wisps near the torus (Hester et al. 2002), although clearly, our very small statistical fit errors must underpredict the true uncertainty.”
The Crab Nebula and Pulsar between 500 GeV and 80 TeV: Observations with the HEGRA Stereoscopic Air Cerenkov Telescopes (2004, background): “The central region close to the torus-like structure is also known to exhibit temporal variability at radio (Bietenholz et al. 2001), optical (Hester et al. 1995), and X-ray frequencies (Hester et al. 2002).”
The evolution and structure of pulsar wind nebulae (2006, background): “1[d]), whose position and brightness vary with time in the optical, infrared and X-ray bands, and which emanate from the termination shock and move outward through the torus with inferred outflow speeds of ∼ 0.5c (Hester et al. 2002, Melatos et al. 2005).”
SIMULATIONS OF PARTICLE ACCELERATION BEYOND THE CLASSICAL SYNCHROTRON BURNOFF LIMIT IN MAGNETIC RECONNECTION: AN EXPLANATION OF THE CRAB FLARES (2013, background): “However, the typical flow velocity in the nebula (about half the speed of light, e.g., Hester et al. 2002) and its orientation with respect to the observer give a Doppler factor of order unity.”
GAMMA-RAY ACTIVITY IN THE CRAB NEBULA: THE EXCEPTIONAL FLARE OF 2011 APRIL (2011, background): “While only mildly relativistic motion with velocities of ≈0.5c is observed inside the nebula (Scargle 1969; Hester et al. 2002; Melatos et al. 2005), relativistic motion is expected in the pulsar wind and in the downstream medium behind the wind termination (Camus et al. 2009).”
ACCELERATION OF PARTICLES AT THE TERMINATION SHOCK OF A RELATIVISTIC STRIPED WIND (2011, methodology): “The radius of the Crab termination shock in the equatorial plane is inferred from X-ray observations to be RTS ' 0.1 pc ' 5 × 108RLC (Hester et al. 2002).”
The Crab Nebula: An Astrophysical Chimera (2008, methodology): “…& Hester 1997; Hester 1998; Sankrit et al. 1998; Loll et al. 2007; Hester, 2007), the Chandra X-ray Observatory (Chandra) (Weisskopf et al. 2000; Hester et al. 2002; Mori et al. 2004; Seward, Gorenstein & Smith 2006; Seward, Tucker & Fesen 2006) the Spitzer Space Telescope (Spitzer) (Temim et…”
VHE γ-Ray Observation of the Crab Nebula and its Pulsar with the MAGIC Telescope (2007, background): “X-ray observations indicate variabilities in the acceleration and cooling times of electrons on timescale of months (e.g. Hester et al. 2002).”
