Scientific paper

We report on deep Chandra ACIS observations of the Rabbit and the Eel pulsar wind nebulae. Both of these have been associated with apparently variable sources seen by EGRET at GeV energies, and with nearby TeV nebulae seen by HESS. Both have similar X-ray morphologies, with long, narrow outflows which sharply curve at some distance from the probable pulsars. We discuss the implications of these observations for the history and high energy emission mechanisms of these sources.
