Scientific paper

The alignment of the projected linear and angular momentum vectors found by CXO for the Crab and Vela pulsars points the way to a new probe of neutron star formation and core collapse and by extension new constraints on fundamental physics. Further examples are needed to establish significance and test parameter dependence -- these require images resolving the equatorial tori in pulsar wind nebulae. We identify a (rare) suitable torus around the Gamma-ray pulsar B1706-44 in archival CXO data and propose ACIS imaging exposures that will map the PWN geometry and should allow a high precision test of spin and kick alignment. These observations are of independent interest for this important PWN and also provide useful spectral constraints on the pulsar itself.
