High Resolution X-ray Observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula Associated with the Gamma-ray Source HESS$ $J1640-465 (2009)

Lemiere, A., Slane, P., Gaensler, B. M., Murray, S.

We present a Chandra X-ray observation of the very high energy $\gamma$-ray source HESS$ $J1640-465. We identify a point source surrounded by a diffuse emission that fills the extended object...

Section on Supernova remnants and cosmic rays of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-based Gamma-ray Astronomy (2008)

This is a report on the findings of the Galactic compact objects working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper is an APS commissioned...

The Infrared Detection of the Pulsar Wind Nebula in the Galactic Supernova Remnant 3C 58 (2008)

Slane, P., Helfand, D. J., Reynolds, S. P., Gaensler, B. M., Lemiere, A., Wang, Z.

We present infrared observations of 3C 58 with the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Using the IRAC camera, we have imaged the entire source resulting in clear...

Observations of X-rays and Thermal Dust Emission from the Supernova Remnant Kes 75 (2007)

Morton, T. D., Slane, P., Borkowski, K. J., Reynolds, S. P., Helfand, D. J., Gaensler, B. M., ...

We present Spitzer Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the composite Galactic supernova remnant Kes 75 (G29.7-0.3). We use the detected flux at 24 microns and hot gas...

Cosmic Ray Acceleration at the Forward Shock in Tycho's Supernova Remnant: Evidence from Chandra X-ray Observations (2005)

Warren, J. S., Hughes, J. P., Badenes, C., Ghavamian, P., McKee, C. F., Moffett, D., ...

We present evidence for cosmic ray acceleration at the forward shock in Tycho's supernova remnant (SNR) from three X-ray observables: (1) the proximity of the contact discontinuity to the forward...

Enhanced abundances in three large-diameter mixed-morphology supernova remnants (2005)

Lazendic, J., Slane, P.

We present an X-ray study of three mixed-morphology supernova remnants (SNRs), HB 21, CTB 1 and HB 3, using archival ASCA and ROSAT data. These data are complemented by archival Chandra X-ray...

Precise Localization of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1627-41 and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar AXP 1E1841-045 with Chandra (2004)

Wachter, S., Patel, S., Kouveliotou, C., Bouchet, P., Ozel, F., Tennant, A., ...

We present precise localizations of AXP 1E1841-045 and SGR 1627-41 with Chandra. We obtained new infrared observations of SGR 1627-41 and reanalyzed archival observations of AXP 1E1841-045 in order...

A pulsar-atmosphere model for PSR 0656+14 (2003)

Lloyd, D. A., Perna, R., Slane, P., Nicastro, F., Hernquist, L.

We present a pulsar-atmosphere (PA) model for modulated thermal X-ray emission from cooling magnetized neutron stars. The model synthesizes the spectral properties of detailed stellar atmosphere...

X-ray observations of the compact central object in supernova remnant G347.3-0.5 (2003)

Lazendic, J., Slane, P., Gaensler, B., Plucinsky, P., Hughes, J. P., Galloway, D., ...

We present Chandra, XMM-Newton and RXTE observations of 1WGA J1713.4-3949, a compact source at the center of the galactic supernova remnant (SNR) G347.3-0.5. The X-ray spectrum of the source is...

An ASCA Study of the High Luminosity SNR G349.7+0.2 (2002)

Slane, P., Chen, Y., Lazendic, J. S., Hughes, J. P.

We present ASCA observations of supernova remnant (SNR) G349.7+0.2. The remnant has an irregular shell morphology and is interacting with a molecular cloud, evident from the presence of OH(1720 MHz)...

Slane, P., Hughes, J. P., Edgar, R. J., Plucinsky, P. P., Miyata, E., Aschenbach, B.

The newly discovered supernova remnant G266.2-1.2 (RX J0852.0-4622), along the line of sight to the Vela SNR, was observed with ASCA for 120 ks. We find that the X-ray spectrum is featureless, and...
