Extract

In this paper we report that the available data on the measured pulsed fraction of X-rays from the Crab Nebula between the energies 0.7 and 300 keV indicate that it is no longer necessary to postulate an intrinsic change in the pulsar spectral index near 30 keV. Furthermore the spectral flattening which is evident at low energies can be entirely attributed, within the precision of the available statistics to the destruction of time coherence of the pulse structure by the scattering action of interstellar dust grains.
