Investigating the emission signatures of pulsar halo candidate HESS J1813-126
[Context] Extended gamma-ray sources surrounding middle-aged pulsars, primarily observed at teraelectronvolt energies, have been interpreted as pulsar halos, where relativistic e± diffuse into the interstellar medium and produce inverse-Compton (IC) emission. HESS J1813-126, associated with the ener...

| Sumario: | [Context] Extended gamma-ray sources surrounding middle-aged pulsars, primarily observed at teraelectronvolt energies, have been interpreted as pulsar halos, where relativistic e± diffuse into the interstellar medium and produce inverse-Compton (IC) emission. HESS J1813-126, associated with the energetic, radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar PSR J1813-1246, has been suggested as a candidate pulsar halo, though its nature remains uncertain. |
