Estimates of the spin-down energy of the putative pulsar PS1 based on empirical relations between Ė and the X-ray emission of the pulsar and its PWN.

Relation Ref. Notes Ė (erg s−1)
1) log Lpsr = 1.34 log Ė − 15.30 (a) Lpsr: nonthermal pulsar luminosity in (2.010.0) keV 9.7 × 1036
2) (b) Γpsr: keV photon index of the pulsar. Ė40 = Ė∕(1040 erg s−1) 1.6 × 1037
       
3) (c) : upper limit of the pulsar luminosity in (0.58.0) keV >1.7 × 1035
       

4) log Lpwn = 1.39 log Ė − 16.6 (d) Lpwn: PWN luminosity in (0.24.0) keV 2.5 × 1036
5) (b) Γpwn: keV photon index of the PWN. Ė40 = Ė∕(1040 erg s−1) 1.8 × 1037
       
6) (e) : upper limit of the PWN luminosity in (0.58.0) keV >5.1 × 1036

Notes. For the photon indexes of PS1 and G29.4+0.1 we used the results of Sects. 3.2 and 3.3, respectively: Γpwn = 1.87 and Γpsr = 1.35. Luminosities in the different spectral ranges were calculated from the best-fit power-law models considering a distance of 6.5 kpc.
