On the burst activity of the Crab Nebula and pulsar at high and ultra-high energies

Recent experiments with satellite gamma-ray telescopes Fermi-LAT and AGILE in which bursts of gamma-rays from the Crab Nebula were detected in the energy range around 100 MeV have aroused keen interest, if not sensation. However, as long ago as more than 20 years from now the data on a possible burs...

Summary:Recent experiments with satellite gamma-ray telescopes Fermi-LAT and AGILE in which bursts of gamma-rays from the Crab Nebula were detected in the energy range around 100 MeV have aroused keen interest, if not sensation. However, as long ago as more than 20 years from now the data on a possible burst in the Crab Nebula at much higher energies, about 100 TeV, were published. Characteristics of transient and stationary fluxes of gamma rays from the Crab Nebula in various energy ranges are discussed in this paper, and it is shown that the old data obtained at ultra-high energy can be reasonably consistent with the modern pattern of burst activity of the source.
