Description

Terzan 5 has the largest population of millisecond pulsars of any globular cluster in the Galaxy. It is also unique in having an associated TeV source. The centroid of the TeV source, however, is measurably displaced away from the cluster. I will discuss a scenario motivated by cosmic ray transport physics than explains this peculiar displacement.
