WHAT DOES PLERION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pulsar wind nebula

A pulsar wind nebula is a nebula powered by the pulsar wind of a pulsar. At the early stages of their evolution, pulsar wind nebulae are often found inside the shells of supernova remnants. However, pulsar wind nebulae have also been found around older pulsars whose supernova remnants have disappeared, including millisecond radio pulsars. A prototypical pulsar wind nebula is the Crab Nebula. Pulsar winds are composed of charged particles accelerated to relativistic speed by the rapidly rotating, superstrong magnetic field of the spinning pulsar. The pulsar wind streams into the interstellar medium, creating a standing shock wave, where it is decelerated to sub-relativistic speed. Beyond this radius synchrotron emission increases in the magnetized flow. Pulsar wind nebulae often show the following properties: ▪ An increasing brightness towards the center, without a shell-like structure as seen in most other supernova remnants. ▪ A highly polarized flux and a flat spectral index in the radio band, α=0–0.3. The index steepens at X-ray energies due to synchrotron radiation losses and on the average has an X-ray photon index of 1.3–2.3.

Definition of plerion in the English dictionary

The definition of plerion in the dictionary is a filled-centre supernova remnant in which radiation is emitted by the centre as well as the shell.
