Notes. The main references are indicated next to the source name. is the pulsar’s spin-down power; τc its characteristic age; d its distance; and Vpsr its projected velocity. d0 is the bow shock standoff distance; LX1 − X2 indicates the X-ray luminosity of the feature in the energy range specified in parentheses; and Lf, wf, and sin θf are the feature’s length, width, and inclination, respectively. For the Lighthouse Nebula, we also report the X-ray luminosity in the 3–79 keV band recently measured by NuSTAR (Klingler et al. 2023). ( * )The distance is taken from the ATNF catalogue: www.atnf.csiro.au/people/pulsar/psrcat. ( † )The filament thickness appears to broaden with distance from the pulsar (de Vries & Romani 2022). Limiting the estimate to the first third of the filament, one finds that wf = 2″, a thickness comparable with Chandra’s resolution.
