Abstract: Context. We have presented a numerical model for the non-thermal emission of gamma-ray binaries in a pulsar-wind driven scenario. Aims. We apply this model to one of the best-observed gamma-ray binaries, the LS 5039 system.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staa016
Abstract: The next era of ground-based Cherenkov telescope development will see a great increase in both quantity and quality of $\gamma$-ray morphological data. This initiated the development of a spatio-temporal leptonic transport code to model pulsar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/sty2525
Abstract: When a pulsar is moving through a partially ionized medium, a fraction of neutral Hydrogen atoms penetrate inside the pulsar wind and can be photo-ionized by the nebula UV radiation. The resulting protons remains attached… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stz213
Abstract: Bow-shock pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) show a variety of morphological shapes. We attribute these variations to the intrinsic properties (relative orientation of the pulsar's spin, velocity, and magnetic inclination angle) - as well as the… read more here.
