Researchers suggest high energy emissions from Crab Nebula come from wind
(PhysOrg.com) -- An international team of physicists studying the Crab Nebula have offered a new theory to explain its extraordinarily high energy emissions that have intrigued space scientists for years. The team, led by Felix Aharonian of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, suggests that instead of the energy being emitted by the pulsar that sits at the center of the nebula, it comes instead from wind, as they describe in their paper in Nature, generated by the pulsar....
