2. The integral γ-ray flux obtained from the Crab by the Whipple Collaboration is now the standard TeV flux unit: FCrab(Eγ>0.35TeV)=10- 10cm2s-1. The spectral index of the Crab's integrated flux is measured to be -1.5. G. Vacanti, Astrophys. J. 377, 467 (1991); ASJOAB 0004-637X 10.1086/170376

29. It is important to stress that if the flux of γ rays is produced through a nuclei deexcitation process, then the associated neutrino signal from decay of neutrons produced in the course of the photo-disintegration would be observable at IceCube.
