Scientific paper

We propose to observe the newly discovered 154 ms pulsar J1740+1000 with ACIS-S in Continuous Clocking mode. Unless this neutron star, a near twin of the well-studied X-ray source PSR B0656+14, is highly unusual, our observations will detect its thermal surface and non-thermal magnetospheric emission. We will search for pulsations using ephemerides provided by our own radio timing program, and take advantage of Chandra's sensitivity and resolving power to constrain the existence of a compact synchrotron nebula powered by the pulsar. Our observations will also be sensitive to a bow-shock nebula that may be inflated by this high-velocity pulsar within its local interstellar gas.
