Population synthesis of Galactic middle-aged pulsar wind nebulae I. Detection prospects for current and future instruments

A. De Sarkar, B. Olmi, D. F. Torres, D. M.-A. Meyer, N. Bucciantini

A population synthesis model that includes the reverberation phase predicts CTAO will detect an order of magnitude more TeV pulsar wind nebulae than currently known.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The model predicts that the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) will detect an order of magnitude more PWNe than those firmly detected in the TeV range, confirming its dominant contribution to the forthcoming TeV population census.

C2weakest assumption

Each source is evolved under distributions of pulsar spin-down, SNR, and environmental properties (abstract paragraph on model setup); if these distributions do not accurately represent the real Galactic population or if the thin-shell plus Lagrangian reverberation treatment introduces systematic biases, the predicted detection numbers would not hold.

C3one line summary

A population synthesis study with a hybrid TIDE+L dynamical model predicts that the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory will detect roughly ten times more Galactic pulsar wind nebulae than are currently known in TeV gamma rays.
