Observations & modeling of TeV Pulsar wind nebulae: issues and lessons
D. F. Torres (Barcelona) TUESDAY Seminar room 3, 3:00 pm
This talk will briefly introduce the pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) observed at TeV by the different experiments and the perspectives for a population build-up with the Cherenkov Telescope Array. I will discuss theoretical models for them from the point of view of an evolutionary, fully time-dependent scenario. Issues impacting the understanding of PWNe observations driven by approximations done in the theoretical assumptions will be uncovered. Cases such as Crab and 3C58 will be compared, as examples or luminous and very dim cases of young PWNe. Finally, I will present studies aimed to clarify the conditions of self-synchrotron domination and possible equipartition biases in observed sources.
