Description
Lack of an analogue of the Crab Nebula around PSR1937 + 214 is shown to be consistent with theory of pulsar magnetospheres only if the surface magnetic field is unusually weak, approximately 109 G. Predictions are made for observations of the weak nebular emission around this object. It is suggested that the neutron star was born as a weakly magnetized, rapidly rotating pulsar, and now is 105-106 yr old. (author)
