N2 - A pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnants is probably the best
laboratory for deter-mining the birth properties of a neutron star, the
properties of its progenitor supernova, and studying the properties of
the pulsar wind. Thanks to new observing facilities, such as the
Ex-tended Very Large Array, Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, HESS, and
VERITAS, both the broadband spectrum and morphology of these objects can
now be measured with much higher precision than before. In this talk, I
will present an evolutionary model for a pulsar wind nebula inside a
supernova remnant which simultaneously predicts both the dynamical and
radiative properties of the pulsar wind nebula, and demonstrate how this
model can explain the observed properties of some of these systems.
