If you use the data collection assembled here or the model calculations provided here, please reference our paper:

  • L. Dirson and D. Horns* Phenomenological modelling of the Crab Nebula’s broad-band energy spectrum and its apparent extension arXiv:2203.11502_

The data points have been collected from different sources and compiled in a set of files. The files and their are provided as they are without any guarantee that the values are acurate. If you do find inconsistencies or disagreement, please notify us/open an issue.

Within each data file, the units have been adapted to a common format. The units are not identical for the different files. Please find below additional informations. We have included a sample notebook to read in the files and overplot the best fitting model from the publication for $\alpha=0.51$. Each line carries a reference code of the paper in the form used by ADS (sth like 1972ApJ...171...41M).

  • radio_data.csv: Frequency (in GHz), flux (in Jy), flux uncertainty (in Jy), epoch of observation, reference. Note, the fluxes have not been corrected for secular decline which is typically 0.1% per year.
  • ir_data.csv: Wavelength (in Angstrom), flux (in Jy), flux uncertainty (in Jy), reference.
  • optical_data.csv: Wavelength (in Angstrom), (corrected) flux (in Jy), absorption (in mag from 1993A&A...270..370V), ref, re-calculated absorption (in mag) from O94 model using $A_v=1.08$, $E_{B-V}=0.43$
  • xray_data.csv: Energy (in keV), photoel. absorption corrected energy flux (keV/cm$^2$/s), uncertainty, reference.
  • gamma_data.csv: Energy (in GeV), energy flux (in erg/cm$^2$/s), uncertainty, reference.
  • sample_plot.ipynb: should be self-explanatory. Req. py3.

In addition to the data, we have included the set of curves shown in Fig. sed_varalpha (1) as two separate tables synctable.txt for the synchrotron emission and ictable.txt for the inverse Compton emission.

The first row indicates the sequence of values for $\alpha$ used. First column is the energy in eV, following columns is $I_\nu$ in ergs/s for the value of alpha indicated in the first row.

Any additional questions directed to dieter.horns@uni-hamburg.de
