  1. KeV to Tev The Non-Thermal Universe Tony Dean School of Physics and Astronomy University of Southampton

  2. INTEGRAL Studies of PWN Systems • The Source list of PWN: • Selection based on the Mallory Roberts The Pulsar Wind Nebula Catalogue • http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~pulsar/pwncat.html • Interest heightened by the association with a number of HESS Sources • Three types of PWN for IBIS/ISGRI: • Seen by IBIS - some discussed here ~ 10 (16%) • Pulsar seen in radio but not seen by IBIS ~ 25 (42%) • No radio pulsar ~ 25 (42%) – Possibly one seen by IBIS

  3. PWN - Where do the soft gamma-rays come from ? For the Crab, the INTEGRAL spectrum has photon index of ~2.23 i.e similar to Jet/Counterjet Spin-down energy loss, Ė = 4.6  1038 erg s-1 L(20-100) ~ 7  1036 erg s-1 ~1.5% Ė L1-10TeV ~ 3.4 1033 erg s-1 ~10-2 % Ė Mori et al 2004 HESS spectrum has ~2.39 Centroid shown PSF ~0.14

  14. Correlations with the pulsar characteristics - 20-100 keV Luminosity INTEGRAL NOTE: They are all young, short period (~ 100ms), energetic pulsars, spin down ages in range 700  τ 20,000 y L(20-100) 20-100 keV -rays (INTEGRAL/IBIS) 1% Ė 1036 erg/s L(20-100) %Ė) X-rays (Possenti et al 2002) J0835-4519 (Vela) @ 0.02%

  15. Γ Ė erg/s Correlations with the pulsar characteristics INTEGRAL X-rays Weighted mean 20-100 keV photon spectral index:  = 2.13 ± 0.15

  16. Some general characteristics of INTEGRAL PWN • A young energetic pulsar is needed • L(20-100) ~ 1% Ė, & L(20-100keV) L(1-10TeV) • A jet-like feature is generally present • The soft gamma-ray photon index is  ~ 2 • INTEGRAL source is “coincident” with the pulsar/PWN & INTEGRAL X-rayPWN • When accompanied by a TeV source, Synchrotron for soft gammas and Inverse Compton for TeV works well. • NOTE the energies of the soft gamma producing electrons is ~ 10× TeV producing electrons

  17. High-energy spectrum of PSR J1846-0258 NOTE: As the energy increases the pulsar provides more of the output.

  18. Emitted Power How do the Soft gammas and TeV Emissions Compare? Spectral Indices

  19. Why are some not there? e.g. G292.0+1.8 – PSR J1124-5916 • Age ~ 1600 y • Distance ~ 5.4 kpc • Ė ~1.2 1037 erg/s • P = 135 ms, • dP/dt = 7.47 10-13 s/s •  ~3 ky • L(20-100)Min ~ 0.5% Ė @ 5

  20. Those that are not there Is the Ė /D2too faint? NO

  21. Those that are not there Note: a comparison with Ė is not correct  Integrate Ė over electron lifetimes Some still should be there!

  22. Microquasars LSI +61 303, : “OFF” (phase 0.8 – 1.3) “ON” (phase 0.3 – 0.8) 20 – 95 keV > 400 GeV

  23. The distant blazar Swift J1656.3-3302 Data analysis of spectroscopy collected with the ESO-3.6m telescope plus EFOSC2 on June 2007 allowed us to identify the hard X-ray source Swift J1656.3-3302 as a powerful gamma-ray loud blazar atz = 2.40. This is, up to now, the farthest optically-identified object of any INTEGRAL survey, and the fourth farthest of all objects detected with INTEGRAL. Masetti et al. (in prep.)
