Scientific paper

Recent monitoring of the Crab Nebula with the HST and Chandra sheds new light on both the structure and dynamics of the region into which the wind from the Crab pulsar flows. Bright X-rays predominately originate in regions which contain sharp and highly dynamic structure at visible wavelengths, reflecting the short synchrotron lifetime of the most energetic particles in the nebula. We now have a unique opportunity for an intensive coordinated optical/X-ray campaign to study this dynamic structure. We have an approved and scheduled HST program to monitor the Crab at 11-day intervals during 8 months in the 2000-01 observing season. We request sixteen 25 ks observations with the Chandra ACIS to monitor the X-ray structure and spectrum of Crab during the HST campaign.
