Scientific paper

PSR J1119-6127 is a young radio pulsar associated with SNR G292.2-0.5. Its spin and magnetic properties are intermediate between the Crab-like and the anomalous X-ray pulsars. Its study sheds light on understanding transition objects between both classes. Our Chandra observation revealed the X-ray counterpart of the pulsar, a 3"x6" extended emission associated with it, and hard X-ray emission from the SNR interior. The poor statistics prevented us from reliably determining the spectral properties of the system. We request a follow-up ACIS-S observation to constrain the spectral parameters and the poorly known distance of this intriguing system. Chandra's resolution is needed to disentange the emission from the pulsar, its outflow, the SNR, and nearby point sources.
