Guitar Nebula: extreme accelerator in extreme environment

Igor Nikolaevich Nikonorov, Maxim Lyutikov, Maxim Vladimirovich Barkov

Particles forming the Guitar Nebula's X-ray kinetic jet must reach at least three-quarters of the neutron star's maximum electric potential.

Claims

C1strongest claim

particles escaping the PWN and forming the X-ray ``kinetic jet'' need to be accelerated to the energies corresponding to the maximal electric potential of the neutron star η_acc≳ 3/4 : it is another example of the class of extreme accelerators.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that exceptionally bright Hα emission requires the central pulsar PSR J2225+6535 to pass through a dense, low ionization ISM region, combined with the requirement of an exceptionally high magnetic field ∼100 μG to explain the X-ray emission.

C3one line summary

The Guitar Nebula requires extreme acceleration with η_acc ≳ 3/4 and traverses a dense low-ionization shell from an old supernova remnant in the pressure-driven snowplow regime.
