Scientific paper

Despite estimates which suggest that supernovae should lead to the formation of a pulsar every 100 years or so, the census of young neutron stars is sparse. Yet it is these objects which provide the only direct measurements of neutron star birth parameters. Composite SNRs provide laboratories which both lead us to these neutron stars and provide us with a direct means for determining their properties. G327.1-1.1 is a composite SNR for which radio and X-ray observations point the way toward a currently unseen pulsar. We propose Chandra observations to study a compact X-ray source which appears likely to be a young pulsar in this system, and to investigate its early evolution and properties through spectral studies of both the source and its synchrotron nebula.
