There are strange "zebra" patterns coming from the Crab Nebula, and the reason has to do with plasma refraction.

But this wasn't just any supernova. It was a supernova that would eventually lead to the formation of the Crab Nebula — a collage of interstellar gas and dust illuminated by the energy expelled ...

A pulsar's radiation is getting refracted by plasma in the magnetosphere. Historical records from around the world describe a bright star appearing in the sky in the year 1054. Today, astronomers ...

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have finally solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery ...

His findings have just been published in Physical Review Letters. The Crab Nebula features a neutron star at its center that has formed into a 12-mile-wide pulsar pinwheeling electromagnetic ...

A theoretical astrophysicist may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual 'zebra' pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula. A theoretical ...

A study reveals the cause behind the Crab Nebula’s zebra radiation pattern: plasma diffraction in the pulsar's magnetosphere.

THE Crab Nebula in Taurus, which has the distinction of being No. 1 in Messier's Catalogue, is of peculiar interest, as is shown by articles published respectively in L'Astronomie (August 1939 ...
