Scientific paper

Chandra observations of the Crab and Vela pulsars have revealed many remarkable and unexpected features in their nebulae, allowing us to make major progress in our understanding of pulsar winds. Our AO-1 observations of the young pulsar PSR B1509-58 show it to power a large and bright nebula containing many complex features, demonstrating this source to be the obvious next target worthy of detailed study. We therefore propose Chandra observations of PSR B1509-58 at four additional epochs, with the aim of measuring changes in the brightness, morphology and position of the nebular features as a function of time. These data will allow us to make detailed comparisons to our proposed models for the time-dependent evolution of the pulsar's wind.
