摘要:Prior to the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, only six pulsars and one associated Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN), the Crab Nebula, had been detected in g-rays by the CGRO-EGRET experiment. Since then, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard Fermi has significantly increased the number of detected pulsars in the 100 MeV to 300 GeV energy range. A large fraction of these pulsars, characterized by high energy loss rates (˙E from 3 1033 to 5 1038 erg/s), is associated to PWNe or candidates observed in the TeV energy range and are likely to power a PWN detectable in the Fermi-LAT energy range, as done for the Crab. Here, we will review the recent results obtained with the Fermi-LAT on TeV Pulsar Wind Nebulae, including the Crab Nebula, Vela-X and MSH 15-52, HESS J1825-137, and give a general overview of the constraints provided by Fermi-LAT non-detections.
