IXPE detects 55% polarization in the filament with B-field aligned along its axis, orthogonal X-ray and radio polarization in the trail indicating separate lepton populations, and a rotating vector model fit for the pulsar.

Discovery of Thunder, a bow-shock PWN powered by PSR J1631-4722 in SNR G336.7+0.5 (Nimbus), characterized with radio, X-ray, and polarization data at assumed 7 kpc distance with age ~30-45 kyr.
Chandra observations of CTA 1 PWN show jet/torus morphology, constrain pulsar velocity to ≲200 km/s, and model low magnetic field with PeV electron cutoff in a young low-efficiency nebula.
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.

Guitar Nebula: extreme accelerator in extreme environment
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.

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.
