High-energy Emission from the Intrabinary Shocks in Redback Pulsars

The intrabinary shocks (IBS) of spider pulsars emit nonthermal synchrotron X-rays from accelerated electrons and positrons in the shocked pulsar wind, likely energized by magnetic reconnection. In redback spider pulsars, the IBS typically wraps around the pulsar, leading to a near-normal IBS shock w...
