Pulsars are formed by the collapsed cores of massive stars in supernova explosions. The Crab Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that was observed in 1054 AD and is known to contain a pulsar. The other locations are unlikely to have pulsars. The center of the Galaxy might have a supermassive black hole but not a pulsar, the center of the Sun is not massive enough to produce a pulsar, and the Orion Nebula is a star-forming region where young stars are still in the process of formation and not likely to contain pulsars.
