Scientific paper

The supernova remnant CTA1 that falls within the error box of the EGRET source 3EG J0010+7309 contains one of the best X-ray candidates for a radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar. The superb imaging capability of Chandra can resolve the neutron star in the X-ray source RX J0007.0+7303 from its pulsar wind nebula (PWN), thus enabling a simultaneous study of the structure of the PWN, and the energetics of both thermal and nonthermal spectra from the pulsar itself. These results should motivate follow-up observations, as Chandra has done before, that may finally discover the pulsations. We have also obtained deep images of this field in B, V, and R, that can be used to search for the optical counterpart of the pulsar once the precise X-ray position is determined by Chandra.
