The variable Crab Nebula [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of 25th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics — PoS(Texas 2010), 2011
The remarkable Crab Nebula is powered by an energetic pulsar whose relativistic wind interacts with the inner parts of the Supernova Remnant SN1054. Despite low-intensity optical and X-ray variations in the inner Nebula, the Crab has been considered until now substantially stable at X-ray and gamma-ray energies.

The Crab Pulsar and Nebula as Seen in Gamma-Rays

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Slightly more than 30 years ago, Whipple detection of the Crab Nebula was the start of Very High Energy gamma-ray astronomy. Since then, gamma-ray observations of this source have continued to provide new surprises and challenges to theories, with the ...

The Radio Parallax of the Crab Pulsar: A First VLBI Measurement Calibrated with Giant Pulses

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We use four observations with the European very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) network to measure the first precise radio parallax of the Crab Pulsar. We found two in-beam extragalactic sources just outside the Crab Nebula, with one bright enough to

Neutral Atmospheric Density Measurement Using Insight-HXMT Data by the Earth Occultation Technique

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
The Earth occultation technique has broad applications in both astronomy and atmospheric density measurements. We construct the background model during the occultation of the Crab Nebula observed by the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight ...

CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS OF CRAB NEBULA FILAMENTS

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2013
The chemical compositions in filaments of Crab Nebula are obtained using two methods: new Ionization Correction Factors taking in to account density in homogeneities f the nebular gas, and new 3-stages method based on the optimized photoionization ...

A PeVatron Candidate: Modeling the Boomerang Nebula in X-ray Band

open access: yesUniverse, 2022
Pulsar wind nebula (PWN) Boomerang and the associated supernova remnant (SNR) G106.3+2.7 are among candidates for the ultra-high-energy (UHE) gamma-ray counterparts published by LHAASO.

Testing Lorentz invariance of electrons with LHAASO observations of PeV gamma-rays from the Crab Nebula

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2022
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) recently reported the detection of gamma-ray emissions with energies up to 1.1PeV from the Crab Nebula. Using the absence of vacuum Cherenkov effect by inverse-Compton electrons, we improve previous

On the Structure of the Crab Nebula [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Physics, 1979
Utilizing a large number of published observations, we investigate the detailed structure of the Crab Nebula over a range of wavelengths from 3 5 mm to 75 em, and identify many different features. The spectra of some of these features are followed to longer wavelengths, extending to nearly 10 m. Physical conditions within the features are discussed.

Two-zone model for the broadband Crab nebula spectrum: microscopic interpretation

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
We develop a simple two-zone interpretation of the broadband baseline Crab nebula spectrum between 10−5 eV and ~ 100 TeV by using two distinct log-parabola energetic electrons distributions.

On Possible Reduction of Equilibrium Radius of a Neutron Star Influenced by Superstrong Magnetic Field

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Necessary condition for β‐decay suppression of a neutron in degenerate magnetized electron gas is formulated. Based on this, it is shown that, in superstrong magnetic field, equilibrium radius of a neutron star is approximately several times smaller than without the field influence. Therefore, we can make a prediction that in short‐period pulsars, such
