Scientific paper

A Cycle 3 observation to search for an outer shock shows nothing outside the visible Crab. There is, however, evidence for soft emission from the northern edge of the 5' X 7' optical nebula, which was just inside the ACIS field of view. This proposal is to observe the entire outer 2' of the 5' X 7' nebula with a sensitivity 10X greater than in previous Chandra observations. It is an exploration of a region not yet really observed (in X-rays) and requires great care to set up so the bright central source does not overwhelm the telemetry. The high spectral resolution of Chandra is essential and the time required modest. The result will be a map of the outer part of the PWN and should also locate additional mass within the Nebula.
