Shedding new light on the Crab with polarized X-rays [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Strong magnetic fields, synchrotron emission, and Compton scattering are omnipresent in compact celestial X-ray sources. Emissions in the X-ray energy band are consequently expected to be linearly polarized. X-ray polarimetry provides a unique diagnostic

Time Evolution of the X-Ray and γ-Ray Fluxes of the Crab Pulsar [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2018
We studied the evolution of the X-ray and γ-ray spectra of the Crab pulsar utilizing the 11-year observations from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and 9-year observations from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST).

Observations of the Crab Nebula and Pulsar with the Large-sized Telescope Prototype of the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a next-generation ground-based observatory for gamma-ray astronomy at very high energies. The Large-Sized Telescope prototype (LST-1) is located at the CTA-North site, on the Canary Island of La Palma.

Galactic Shapiro delay to the Crab pulsar and limit on weak equivalence principle violation [PDF]

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018
We calculate the total galactic Shapiro delay to the Crab pulsar by including the contributions from the dark matter as well as baryonic matter along the line of sight. The total delay due to dark matter potential is about 3.4 days.

Test of Weak Equivalence Principle with the Multi-band Timing of the Crab Pulsar [PDF]

, 2016
The Weak Equivalent Principle (WEP) can be tested through the parameterized post-Newtonian parameter γ, representing the space curvature produced by unit rest mass.

On the progenitor of the Crab Pulsar

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT We investigate the progenitor of the Crab supernova by examining the remnant’s surrounding stellar population. The Crab is interesting because of the apparently low energy and mass of the supernova remnant. We also know it was not a binary at death and that the explosion formed a neutron star.

Dissecting the Crab Nebula with JWST: Pulsar Wind, Dusty Filaments, and Ni/Fe Abundance Constraints on the Explosion Mechanism [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present JWST observations of the Crab Nebula, the iconic remnant of the historical SN 1054. The observations include NIRCam and MIRI imaging mosaics plus MIRI/MRS spectra that probe two select locations within the ejecta filaments.

Simultaneous space and phase resolved X-ray polarimetry of the Crab pulsar and nebula [PDF]

Nature Astronomy, 2022
X-ray polarization measurements of the Crab nebula and pulsar by the IXPE satellite reveal a global toroidal magnetic field with large variations in local polarization, suggesting a more complex turbulence distribution than anticipated.
