Abstract

Pulsars, Neutron stars, Pulsar Wind Nebulae Astronomy and Astrophysics,Space and Planetary Science
Several of the 'exotic' supernova remnants are re-interpreted as pulsar-illuminated former windzones. The class of supernova remnants thus splits into (i) (the usual) 'shell remnants' and (ii) 'pulsar nebulae' in which a (fairly young) pulsar blows its relativistic wind into its low-density environs. © 1992 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
