Astronomers probe the emission from a nearby pulsar wind nebula

Astronomers from South Korea and China have performed a deep X-ray spectral imaging of a bow-shock pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with a nearby pulsar designated PSR B1929+10. The new study, published April 29 on arXiv.org, presents the deepest investigation of the system, disclosing important information about the emission from this PWN.
