Of Winds and Waves
John G. Kirk, Ioanna Arka
TL;DR
This paper summarizes recent research on superluminal waves in pulsar winds and hypothesizes their significant role at the termination shock between the wind and nebula.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that superluminal waves are crucial in the dynamics of pulsar wind termination shocks, offering new insights into their properties and effects.
Findings
Superluminal waves are present in pulsar winds.
These waves likely influence the termination shock dynamics.
Potential impact on nebula formation and structure.
Abstract
Recent work on the properties of superluminal waves in pulsar winds is summarized. It is speculated that these waves play an important role in the termination shock that divides the wind from the surrounding nebula.
