Crab-like Remnants
These remnants (also called plerions) resemble the Crab Nebula.
These supernova remnants are similar to the shell type remnants, except that
they contain a pulsar in the middle that blows out jets of very
fast moving material. These remnants look more like a "blob" then a "ring".
