N2 - A pulsar wind nebula inside a supernova remnant offers a unique insight
into the properties of neutron stars, pulsar winds, and the progenitor
supernova. However, this is complicated by the rapid and complicated
evolution such a pulsar wind nebulae undergoes. In this talk, I will
present a model for the dynamical and radiative evolution of a pulsar
wind nebulae inside a remnant which can extract the desired information
from observations, and demonstrate its success in reproducing the total
radio to X-ray spectrum of the Crab Nebula.
