Scientific paper

Reasons for and against the likelihood of inhomogeneous magnetic fields in the Crab Nebula are considered. The dependence of the size of the Crab Nebula on the wave length used in observation is deduced from the hypothesis of thin scattering diffusion of the radiating electrons in an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The calculations agree reasonably well with experimental results. On the other hand, the existence of an inhomogeneous field implies a very high energy content of the nebula. It is suggested that the most correct description of diffusion in the Crab Nebula would be some kind of compound diffusion. The model used in the paper is explained in the paper by Cavallo and Ventura (1975).
