Dinsmore & Romani 2024

Figure 3 (from Dinsmore & Romani (2024)) : Left: Results of a search for pulsar X-ray filament candidates among Chandra observations. The pink and purple background represent strong / weak acceptance regions for filament candidates; low delta and high sigma are preferred. Blue points represent known filaments or candidates listed in Dinsmore & Romani (2024), brown represent known non-filament PWNe, and the three orange points are filament candidates caught by an archival search. Radii scale logarithmically with total exposure time. For supersonic nebular trails, a small circle shows the elevated significance arising from anti-alignment with the proper motion. Axes are shifted-logarithmic to better display data with sigma or delta near zero. Hover over points to see the individual Chandra X-ray Observatory observations. Right: Individual Chandra observations of each pulsar. Blue ribbons show sigma as a function of angle, and orange show delta. The significance of the best-fit filament is shown in each. Point sources have been heavily cleaned.
