Scientific paper

It is shown that a flux of relativistic electrons responsible for the synchrotron emission of the NP 0532 pulsar magnetosphere can not account for the pumping of sufficient amounts of energy into the Crab Nebula. It is concluded that the pumping might result from the flux of relativistic electrons which leaves the magnetosphere at small pitch angles and which therefore does not noticeably contribute to the synchrotron emission. The Crab Nebula synchrotron spectrum is interpreted in terms of an assumed secular 'softening' of the energy spectrum of the relativistic electrons injected into the nebula. The effect of 'starquakes' on some features of the central part of the nebula is considered.
