This paper is a review of the X-ray observations made on the Crab Nebula They include angular size, location, energy spectrum as high as 560 keV, upper limits on time variability and line emission, interstellar absorption and polarization. Some data on the X-ray spectrum of the pulsar NP0532 are included, but for details on the X-ray pulsar, see the paper by Rappaport (1971). The X-ray luminosity versus radius of the Crab, compared with that of other known X-ray emitting supernova remnants is also discussed.
