Pulsars in a Bubble? Following Electron Diffusion in the Galaxy with TeV Gamma Rays

2019

TeV Halos, extended regions of gamma-ray emission around pulsars, are a new class of gamma-ray sources. They can be used to study pulsar properties and e+/e- diffusion on scales of ~10 pc, as well as to find misaligned pulsars. We outline the contributions of future gamma-ray instruments to the study of TeV Halos and the expected physics outcomes.
