The Crab Nebula pulsar conforms to the model of a rotating magnetised neutron star in the rate of energy generation and the exponent of the rotation law.It is suggested that the main pulse is due to electrons and the precursor to protons. Both must radiate in coherent bunches. Optical and X-ray radiation is by the synchrotron process.The wisps observed in the Nebula may represent the release of an instability storing about 1043 erg and 1047–48 particles.Finally, some considerations are made about the general relation between supernova remnants and rotating neutron stars.

We present a short Cook's tour of the possible effects of rotation coupled with superfluid properties of neutron star interiors. A suggestion is made to take advantage of forthcoming lunar occultations of the Crab Nebula in order to search for blackbody X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar.

Several Crab-type supernova remnants appear to have very bright non-thermal X-ray cores just around the pulsar or expected pulsar. This X-ray brightness is often not matched by a corresponding increase in radio emission. The best example of this phenomenon is in N157B in the LMC. G21.5−0.9 and possibly 3C 58 also show it while the Crab Nebula and 0540−69.3 do not. Some method to enhance the higher energy particles must be present in these objects.

The time variation of some interesting properties of vibrating neutron stars is considered. The models used are based on two nuclear potentials that cover a large spread of possibilities. The modified URCA neutrino process has been assumed to be the major damping mechanism. The calculations are performed both for the case when the vibration energy is partially converted into heat through the URCA process and for the case when this conversion does not take place. It is found that the vibrational energy-storage capacity is extremely model-dependent. The vibrational energies at 1 000 years range from about 1047 to 1050 ergs, which are sufficiently large as a possible energy source for the X rays from the Crab Nebula, ft is shown also that the cooling times of neutron stars will not be significantly increased by the inclusion of the vibrational heating.

The presupernova evolution of stars that form semi-degenerate or strongly degenerate O+Ne+Mg cores is discussed. For the 10–13 M⊙ stars, behavior of off-center neon flashes is crucial. The 8–10 M⊙ stars do not ignite neon and eventually collapse due to electron captures. Properties of supernova explosions and neutron stars expected from these low mass progenitors are compared with the Crab nebula. We also examine the conditions for which neutron stars form from accretion-induced collapse of white dwarfs in close binary systems.

The evidence for jets emanating from neutron stars is reviewed. Isolated radio pulsars do not appear to produce collimated outflows. A few supernova remnants, notably the Crab nebula, exhibit jetlike protrusions at their outer boundaries. These are probably "blowouts" of the plasma in the remnant rather than true jets from a neutron star. However, several cases of degenerate stars in X-ray binary systems do make jets. SS433 has twin precessing jets moving outward at v ~ 0.26c, and Sco X-1 has radio lobes with v ~ 0.0001c. Cyg X-3 appears to eject synchrotron plasmoids at high velocities. Other X-ray binaries associated with variable radio sources are discussed; some are interesting candidates for collimated outflow. G109.1-1.0 is an X-ray binary in a supernova remnant that may have radio or X-ray jets. It is not clear in all these cases, however, that the compact object is a neutron star and not a black hole or white dwarf.A tentative conclusion is reached that isolated neutron stars do not produce jets, but degenerate stars in accreting binary systems can. This suggests that the presence of an accretion disk, rather than the characteristics of an isolated pulsar's dipole magnetosphere, is critical in making collimated outflows.
