Abstract

Of all pulsars known Vela has been one of the most productive in terms in understanding pulsars and their characteristics. We present the latest results derived from Australian telescopes. These include a more accurate pulsar distance, a more precise pulsar local space velocity, a new model of the spin up and the association of a radio nebula with the X-ray pulsar wind nebula.
