The Crab Nebula is the single most important supernova remnant in the sky. In October 1984 several active researchers compiled this review at a workshop meeting hosted by the George Mason University. All recent theoretical and observational work is reviewed. This was no mean task because more than a decade has passed since the last international meeting on this object. New ideas covered in this volume include the Crab-like remnant in the large Magellanic Cloud; the MHD model of Crab radiation; the jet; and IUE and IRAS data ...

The Crab Nebula is the single most important supernova remnant in the sky. In October 1984 several active researchers compiled this review at a workshop meeting hosted by the George Mason University. All recent theoretical and observational work is reviewed. This was no mean task because more than a decade has passed since the last international meeting on this object. New ideas covered in this volume include the Crab-like remnant in the large Magellanic Cloud; the MHD model of Crab radiation; the jet; and IUE and IRAS data. The result is an up-to-date account of the astronomy of this supernova remnant.
