Occasionally these
objects look something like
planetary nebulae, as
in the case of the Crab Nebula, but they differ from the latter
in three ways: (1) the total mass of their gas (they involve a larger mass, essentially all the mass of the exploding star), (2) their kinematics (they are expanding with higher velocities), and (3) their lifetimes (they last for a shorter time as visible nebulae).
The finding of a 3.3 - day stellar rotation period for Star A that is estimated to be very similar to that of its recently discovered
