The Guitar nebula's pulsar appears to accelerate electrons to within ~3/4 of the theoretical maximum potential, and its brightness is best explained by the pulsar crossing an old supernova remnant's compressed, magnetized shell.
TeV-selected PWNe and unidentified sources yield beaming fractions of 0.1-0.3 across radio, gamma-ray, and X-ray bands, with survey-to-survey differences explained by selection biases or older pulsars and reproducible via time-dependent opening angles.
Off-peak emission from the region of 4HWC J2029+3641 is point-like with a curved spectrum consistent with the outer-gap model of the nearby pulsar PSR J2030+3641 rather than an extended nebula.

Constraining the Pulsar Beaming Fraction with TeV-Selected Galactic Pulsar Wind Nebulae and unidentified TeV Sources
TeV-selected PWNe and unidentified sources yield beaming fractions of 0.1-0.3 across radio, gamma-ray, and X-ray bands, with survey-to-survey differences explained by selection biases or older pulsars and reproducible via time-dependent opening angles.

4HWC J2029$+$3641: a Pulsar Wind Nebula Powered by PSR J2030$+$3641?
Off-peak emission from the region of 4HWC J2029+3641 is point-like with a curved spectrum consistent with the outer-gap model of the nearby pulsar PSR J2030+3641 rather than an extended nebula.
