Shell-type supernova remnants (SNRs) exhibit correlations between radio surface brightness, SNR diameter, and ambient medium density. We investigate these correlations, to extract useful information...

. The supernova remnant N157B was in the field of view during an observation of the LMC with the BeppoSAX satellite. A signal with a 16 ms periodicity was detected in the MECS data. The pulse profile...
S. J. Curran, J. K. Webb, R. Bandiera, E. Corbelli, M. T. Murphy, V. V. Flambaum
We present a catalogue of the 316 damped Lyman alpha absorbers taken from the literature. All damped Lyman alpha absorbers are included, with no selection on redshift or quasar magnitude. Of these,...
Influence of Thermalisation on Electron Injection in Supernova Remnant Shocks (2006)
Within a test-particle description of the acceleration process in parallel nonrelativistic shocks, we present an analytic treatment of the electron injection. We estimate the velocity distribution of...
The nature of the X-ray halo of the plerion G21.5-0.9 unveiled by XMM-Newton and Chandra (2005)
Bocchino, F., Chevalier, R., Bandiera, R.
The nature of the radio-quiet X-ray halo around the plerionic SNR G21.5-0.9 is under debate. On the basis of spatial and spectral analysis of a large Chandra and XMM-Newton dataset of this source, we...
Magnetic Rayleigh-Taylor instability for Pulsar Wind Nebulae in expanding Supernova Remnants (2004)
Bucciantini, N., Amato, E., Bandiera, R., Blondin, J. M., Del Zanna, L.
We present a numerical investigation of the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface between an expanding Pulsar Wind Nebula and its surrounding Supernova Remnant. These systems...
The effects of spin-down on the structure and evolution of pulsar wind nebulae (2004)
Bucciantini, N., Bandiera, R., Blondin, J. M., Amato, E., Del Zanna, L.
We present high resolution spherically symmetric relativistic magnetohydrodynamical simulations of the evolution of a pulsar wind nebula inside the free expanding ejecta of the supernova progenitor....
Analytic Solutions for the Evolution of Radiative Supernova Remnants (2004)
We present the general analytic solution for the evolution of radiative supernova remnants in a uniform interstellar medium, under thin-shell approximation. This approximation is shown to be very...
The X-ray Halo of G21.5-0.9 (2003)
The emission of the plerion G21.5-0.9 appears more extended in X rays than in radio. This is an unexpected result because it would imply that short-lived X-ray electrons may reach distances even...
New perspectives in pulsar research (2003)
Amico, N. D', Bandiera, R., Bucciantini, N., Burgay, M., Burderi, L., Antona, F. D', ...
BeppoSAX observation of the composite remnant G327.1-1.1 (2002)
We report an X-ray study of the composite supernova remnant G327.1-1.1, with particular emphasis on its thermal emission. By virtue of a combined spatial and spectral analysis, we have been able to...
Curran, S. J., Webb, J. K., Murphy, M. T., Bandiera, R., Corbelli, E., Flambaum, V. V.
We present a catalogue of the 322 damped Lyman alpha absorbers taken from the literature. All damped Lyman alpha absorbers are included, with no selection on redshift or quasar magnitude. Of these,...
BeppoSAX observations of the young pulsar in the Kes 75 Supernova Remnant (2002)
Mereghetti, S., Bandiera, R., Bocchino, F., Israel, G. L.
We present the results of BeppoSAX observations of the young X-ray pulsar PSR J1846-0258, recently discovered at the center of the composite supernova remnant Kes 75. The pulsar (plus nebula)...
Astronomy Astrophysics manuscript no. October 25, 2002 (2002)
Doi Will Be, F. Bocchino, R. Bandiera
We report an X-ray study of the composite supernova remnant G327.1--1.1, with particular emphasis on its thermal emission. By virtue of a combined spatial and spectral analysis, we have been able to...
A model for the spatial distribution of relativistic electrons in the Crab Nebula (1999)
Amato, E., Salvati, M., Bandiera, R., Pacini, F., Woltjer, L.
We extend Pacini & Salvati's model for the synchrotron emission from plerions to allow more realistic predictions of the surface brightness profiles of the Crab Nebula at radio, optical and X-ray...
The Supernova Remnant G11.2-0.3 and its central Pulsar (1996)
Bandiera, R., Pacini, F., Salvati, M.
The plerion inside the composite Supernova Remnant G11.2-0.3 appears to be dominated by the magnetic field to an extent unprecedented among well known cases. We discuss its evolution as determined by...
