Why are the PWN that we see particle dominated? Is there any observational biases? Do we expect to map the whole phase space between particle and magnetic dominated nebula? At which sensitivity if so? We would not see any magnetic dominated nebula unless very energetic, with very hard spectrum, in a high FIR background. We could barely see a nebula in equipartition if the spin-down is larger than or at least 10% of Crab, for nebulae of similar slope than Crab in the injection and living in normal backgrounds
