Gamma-ray emission from the Crab Nebula has been recently shown to be unsteady. In this paper, we study the flux and spectral variability of the Crab above 100 MeV on different timescales ranging from days to weeks. In addition to the four…

We present new data of the Crab pulsar and its environment. Images taken in the infrared with ISAAC allow us to measure the pulsar spectrum and to reveal the red knot close to the pulsar. Complementary optical data from VLT and HST are…
