Estudis sobre la interacció plasma - camp magnètic en escenaris astrofísics extrems

Abstract

We developed this thesis in the context of understanding the interaction of high-energy particles and magnetic fields in extreme astrophysical environments, like pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae. We employed both simulations implemented with the tools currently in development for future gamma-ray data analysis and observations from the LAT instrument onboard the Fermi satellite. In particular, we focused on three sources, the Crab Nebula and pulsar, the supernova remnant SNR G39.2-0.3, and the Westerlund 2 stellar cluster.
