Crab Nebula, ADS: search title/keyword/abstract or fulltext 3C144, ADS: search title/keyword/abstract or fulltext SN1054 ADS: search title/keyword/abstract or fulltext

• Right Ascension: 05 34 31
• Declination: +22 01
• Size (/arcmin): 7×5
• Type: F
• Flux density at 1 GHz (/Jy): 900
• Spectral Index: 0.30

Notes: This is the remnant of the SN of AD1054.

Radio: Filled-centre, central pulsar, with faint ‘jet’ (or tube) extending from the N edge; shows secular decline.

Optical: Strongly polarised filaments, diffuse synchrotron emission, with ‘jet’ faintly visible.

X-ray: Central ‘torus’ around the pulsar.

Point sources: Pulsar powering the remnant.

Distance: Pulsar parallax gives 1.9 kpc.
