Scientific paper

The mass of the Crab Nebula pulsar is determined to be 2 Msun by solving a complete set of equations for nebular brightness and dynamics; the star's dipole moment of inertia obtains for the nearly incompressible star. The theoretical optical brightness agrees in detail with sufficient data to allow for a priori prediction of X-ray brightness. The theory is predicated in terms of a simple magnetic dipolar radiating neutron star and basic postulates.
The stellar radius is 2 Schwarzschild radii.
