An X-ray Nebula Associated with the Millisecond Pulsar B1957+20

We have detected an x-ray nebula around the binary millisecond pulsar B1957+20. A narrow tail, corresponding to the shocked pulsar wind, is seen interior to the known Hα bow shock and proves the long-held assumption that the rotational energy of millisecond pulsars is dissipated through relativistic...
