Bursts of the Crab Nebula gamma-ray emission at high and ultra-high energies
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 Characteristics of the flares of gamma rays detected from the Crab Nebula by the AGILE and Fermi-LAT satellite instruments are compared with those of a gamma ray burst recorded by several air shower arrays on February 23, 1989 and with one recent ...

Turbulent Diffusion of the Particles within Pulsar Wind Nebulae
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A turbulent diffusion model is presented to account for the energy and spatial diffusion of the particles within pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe), with the assumption that the energy injected from the pulsar into the nebula is split between the turbulence ...

A Spatially Resolved X-Ray Polarization Map of the Vela Pulsar Wind Nebula
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 In this paper, we present a full spatially resolved polarization map for the Vela pulsar wind nebula (PWN) observed by IXPE. By employing effective background discrimination techniques, our results show a remarkably high degree of local polarization in ...

EVOLUTION OF THE CRAB NEBULA RADIO EMISSION
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2017 In 1977-1992 the flux density of the Crab Nebula in respect to Orion Nebula was measured at the frequency of 927 MHz with the same 10-m radio telescope.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Crab Pulsar is the prime example of an emitter of giant pulses. These short, very bright pulses are thought to originate near the light cylinder, at ∼1600 km from the pulsar.

Optical Polarimetry of the Crab Nebula [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2011 AbstractTime-resolved polarisation measurements of pulsars provide an unique insight into the geometry of the emission regions. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) polarisation data of the Crab Nebula were obtained from the Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST).

A new approach to generate a catalogue of potential historical novae
Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 341, Issue 1, Page 79-98, January 2020., 2020 Abstract Ancient Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese observers left us records of celestial sightings, the so‐called “guest stars” dated up to ∼2500 years ago. Their identification with modern observable targets could open interesting insights into the long‐term behavior of astronomical objects, as shown by the successful identification of eight galactic ...

The inner knot of the Crab nebula [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2015 We model the inner knot of the Crab Nebula as a synchrotron emission coming from the non-spherical MHD termination shock of relativistic pulsar wind. The post-shock flow is mildly relativistic; as a result the Doppler-beaming has a strong impact on the shock appearance.

ELEMENT DISTRIBUTIONS IN THE CRAB NEBULA [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2012 Images of the Crab Nebula have been obtained through custom interference filters which transmit emission from the expanding supernova remnant in HI, HeI, HeII, [CI], [NII], [OI], [SII], and [SIII] emission lines. We present both raw and flux-calibrated data.

Improved Measurements of the IXPE Crab Polarization
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 X-ray polarization from the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) provides an important new probe of the geometry of the pulsar emission zone and of particle acceleration in the surrounding pulsar wind nebula.
