Typical Flux Crab Energy Range - keV

Neutron Star Mass 1.4 Msun  +0.2 -0.2 Stickland et al. (1997) 
Neutron Star Luminosity 7.3x1037 erg/s   Kaper et al. (1995) 
Depending on model and spectral classification, distance estimation varies btw. 1.8 kpc (Hammerschlag-Hensberge et al. 1976 ) and 5.3 kpc (Kaper et al. 1995 ). The X-ray luminosity of the neutron star is strongly variable: from 6.6E35 erg/s up to 7.3E37 erg/s.
