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.
Synchrotron cooling produces an energy-dependent loss cone and a cooled-loss-cone plasma distribution in neutron star outer magnetospheres, with losses localized at a few hundred to a thousand stellar radii.
3D kinetic simulations find that merging Lundquist flux tubes produce delayed reconnection onset in 3D, a normalized reconnection rate of 0.08-0.10, and nonthermal particle spectra with power-law index 1.6-2.0 and cutoff gamma_cut/sigma_in approximately 50.
Entity PIC code updated with up to 11th-order current deposit and generalized field stencils, with tests showing improved conservation properties and suppression of numerical effects.
