A catalogue of TeV pulsar environments

The final catalogue comprises all currently known TeV sources associated with pulsars, as seen by different instruments, spanning all evolutionary stages. The sample consists of 128 gamma-ray sources, connected to 66 different pulsars. It reflects that the TeV-detected population is dominated by young and energetic pulsars located near the Galactic plane, but includes a growing number of middle-aged systems detected as extended halos.

Only a weak correlation is found between TeV luminosity and pulsar characteristic age, indicating that TeV evolution is driven by environmental and transport effects rather than by spin-down age alone. Additionally, 5 pulsars which should host a PWN detectable by CTAO are identified as prime targets for future observation to improve our understanding of properties inhibiting the formation of a TeV nebula. This publicly available catalogue provides a uniform foundation for future population studies and for constraining models of particle transport and energy losses in pulsar environments.
