| Popis: | We report on the X-ray emission properties of the pulsar PSR J1849$-$0001 and its wind nebula (PWN), as measured by Chandra, XMM-Newton, NICER, Swift, and NuSTAR. In the X-ray data, we detected the 38-ms pulsations of the pulsar up to $\sim$60 keV with high significance. Additionally, we found that the pulsar's on-pulse spectral energy distribution displays significant curvature, peaking at $\approx$60 keV. Comparing the phase-averaged and on-pulse spectra of the pulsar, we found that the pulsar's off-pulse emission exhibits a spectral shape that is very similar to its on-pulse emission. This characterization of the off-pulse emission enabled us to measure the $>$10 keV spectrum of the faint and extended PWN using NuSTAR's off-pulse data. We measured both the X-ray spectrum and the radial profiles of the PWN's brightness and photon index, and we combined these X-ray measurements with published TeV results. We then employed a multizone emission scenario to model the broadband data. The results of the modeling suggest that the magnetic field within the PWN is relatively low ($\approx 7\mu \rm G$) and that electrons are accelerated to energies $\stackrel{>}{_{\sim}}$400 TeV within this PWN. The electrons responsible for the TeV emission outside the X-ray PWN may propagate to $\sim$30 pc from the pulsar in $\sim$10 kyr. Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, Accepted for publication in Apj |
