Scientific paper

Chandra has been instrumental in the process of resolving the issue of which supernova remnants are host to central objects, discovering a number of pulsar wind nebulae which previous X-ray telescopes could not sufficiently resolve. In this continuing tradition, we request 123 ks of observing time to resolve plerionic emission from three supernova remnants from the MOST Catalogue which have hard X-ray counterparts. The census of such objects is small and poorly understood. Chandra's history of resolving arcsecond features from pulsar wind nebulae suggests that these observations will do much to further the study of the structure and evolution of plerions in supernova remnants.
