  4. Crab Nebula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_Nebula

    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. [6]

  5. Pulsar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsar

    The Crab pulsar 33-millisecond pulse period was too short to be consistent with other proposed models for pulsar emission. Moreover, the Crab pulsar is so named because it is located at the center of the Crab Nebula, consistent with the 1933 prediction of Baade and Zwicky. [ 23 ]

  6. Taurus (constellation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_(constellation)

    In the northeast part of Taurus is Messier 1, more commonly known as the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant containing a pulsar. One of the closest regions of active star formation, the Taurus-Auriga complex, crosses into the northern part of the constellation. The variable star T Tauri is the prototype of a class of pre-main-sequence stars.

  7. SN 1054 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1054

    The Crab Nebula is a remnant of an exploded star. This is the Crab Nebula in various energy bands, including a hard X-ray image from the HEFT data taken during its 2005 observation run. Each image is 6' wide. The guest star reported by Chinese astronomers in 1054 is identified as SN 1054. The highlighted passages refer to the supernova.

  8. Near-Earth supernova - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-Earth_supernova

    The Crab Nebula is a pulsar wind nebula associated with the 1054 supernova.It is located about 6,500 light-years from the Earth. [1]A near-Earth supernova is an explosion resulting from the death of a star that occurs close enough to the Earth (roughly less than 10 to 300 parsecs [30 to 1000 light-years] away [2]) to have noticeable effects on Earth's biosphere.

  9. Compact object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_object

    The Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant containing the Crab Pulsar, a neutron star. In certain binary stars containing a white dwarf, mass is transferred from the companion star onto the white dwarf, eventually pushing it over the Chandrasekhar limit. Electrons react with protons to form neutrons and thus no longer supply the necessary pressure ...
