Scientific paper

We have recently discovered a young, energetic pulsar coincident with a compact, hard, X-ray source within the error box of the high-energy gamma-ray source 2CG 075+00 / GeV J2020+3658. The high dispersion measure indicates an extroadinarily large distance for both the gamma-ray and X-ray luminosity. We propose to image the X-ray source in order to resolve the morphology of the presumed pulsar wind nebula, obtain an accurate absorption measurement, and determine a precise position relative to a nearby radio supernova remnant candidate. We also propose to perform a continuous clocking observation to detect X-ray pulsations and avoid problems of pile-up and confusion for the pulsed spectrum.
