SED modelling of broadband emission in the pulsar wind nebula 3C 58

We investigate broadband emission properties of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) 3C 58 using a spectral energy distribution (SED) model. We attempt to match simultaneously the broadband SED and spatial variations of X-ray emission in the PWN. We further the model to explain a possible far-IR feature of which a hint is recently suggested in 3C 58: a small bump at $\sim$$10^{11}$ GHz in the PLANCK and Herschel band. While external dust emission may easily explain the observed bump, it may be internal emission of the source implying an additional population of particles. Although significance for the bump is not high, here we explore possible origins of the IR bump using the emission model and find that a population of electrons with GeV energies can explain the bump. If it is produced in the PWN, it may provide new insights into particle acceleration and flows in PWNe.
