Scientific paper

A near-IR image of the Crab Nebula (M1 = NGC 1952) with images having an FWHM = 0.52 arcsecs. The frame shows fibrous structure of the synchrotron nebulosity and the wisps near the pulsar with unprecedented clarity. The observations suggest that the wisps are synchrotron-emitting fibers that have been pushed outward, and which became more luminous, as a result of interaction with particles and/or hydromagnetic waves emitted by the pulsar.
