The Crab Nebula as a standard candle in very high-energy astrophysics

The continuum high-energy gamma-ray emission between 1 GeV and 105 GeV from the Crab Nebula has been measured for the first time in overlapping energy bands by the Fermi large-area telescope (Fermi/LAT) below ≈100 GeV and by ground-based imaging air Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) above ≈60 GeV. To f...
