Relativistic wind termination - Jets and synchronotron nebulaeAn idealized model describing the termination of a relativistic wind owing to its interaction with surrounding nonrelativistic matter, such as the interaction of a pulsar wind with the supernova remnant shell is examined. It is assumed that the large-scale electric and magnetic fields out to the termination distance are controlled by the wind source, in contrast to previous work treating the wind as an isotropic MHD flow. Two effects are found: forced synchrotron radiation from the bulk of the injected particles, and formation of oppositely directed jets of ultrarelativistic particles.
