摘要：
It has been suggested that the Crab pulsar's proper motion is aligned with the symmetry axis of the pulsar wind nebula. We have revisited this question, examining > 6 years of F547MWFPC2 chip 3 images to obtain a best-fit value of mu(*) = 14.9 +/- 0.8 mas yr(-1) at P. A. 278 degrees +/- 3 degrees. At 26 degrees +/- 3 degrees to the nebula axis, this substantially relaxes constraints on the birth kick of this pulsar. Such misalignment allows the momentum to be imparted over similar to 1 s timescales.
