ABSTRACT Identification and characterization of a rapidly increasing number of pulsar wind nebulae is, and will continue to be, a challenge of high-energy gamma-ray astrophysics. Given that such systems constitute -by far- the most numerous expected population in the TeV regime, such characterization is important not only to learn about the sources per se from an individual and population perspective, but also to be able to connect them with observations at other frequencies, especially in radio and X-rays. Also, we need to remove the emission from nebulae in highly confused regions of the sky for revealing other underlying emitters. In this paper, we present a new approach for theoretical modelling of pulsar wind nebulae: a hybrid hydrodynamic-radiative model able to reproduce morphological features and spectra of the sources, with relatively limited numerical cost.

ABSTRACT We study GeV emission from gamma-ray binaries by assuming that the compact object is a young pulsar. We assume that the relativistic unshocked pulsar wind with a Lorentz factor of 104–5 can produce the GeV emission by the inverse-Compton scattering process in the dense soft-photon field of the companion star. The travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind that moves toward the observer depends on the orbital phase of the pulsar. We discuss that the orbital modulation of the GeV emission is a result of combination of the effects of the travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind and of the anisotropic soft-photon field of the companion star. In this paper, we study how the effect of the travel distance of the unshocked pulsar wind affects to the orbital modulation of GeV emission. We apply our scenario to two gamma-ray binaries, LMC P3 and 4FGL J1405.1−6119. We find that with the suggested system parameters of LMC P3, the observed amplitude of the orbital modulation and the peak width are more consistent with the model light curve by taking into account the effect of the travel distance. For LMC P3, we analyse the GeV spectrum with 8-yr Fermi-LAT data and discuss the broadband emission process in X-ray to TeV energy bands. We predict a possible system geometry for 4FGL J1405.1−6119 by fitting the GeV light curve.
