The Crab Pulsar was the first pulsar for which the spin-down limit was broken using several months of data of the LIGO observatory. Most pulsars do not rotate at constant rotation frequency, but can be observed to slow down at a very slow rate (3.7 × 10 −10 Hz/s in case of the Crab). This spin-down can be explained as a loss of rotation ...

The Crab Nebula (catalogue designations M1, NGC 1952, Taurus A) is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula in the constellation of Taurus.The common name comes from a drawing that somewhat resembled a crab with arms produced by William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, in 1842 or 1843 using a 36-inch (91 cm) telescope.

Comparison of a 10 km radius neutron star (top left corner) and a 6000 km radius white dwarf, the latter roughly the size of Earth. Neutron stars have overall densities of 3.7 × 10 17 to 5.9 × 10 17 kg/m 3 ( 2.6 × 10 14 to 4.1 × 10 14 times the density of the Sun), [ a ] which is comparable to the approximate density of an atomic nucleus of ...
