Abstract

The study of pulsar bow-shocks is one of the most promising ways towards the understanding of the interactions between neutron stars relativistic winds and their environment. These objects are best resolved as Hα nebulae but velocity-driven features are seen also in the radio and X-ray bands and represent interesting targets for future gamma-rays telescopes. We present a preliminary multiwavelength catalogue of pulsar bow-shocks and discuss the prospects for gamma-rays observations with AGILE and GLAST. © 2005 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
