Scientific paper

The Guitar Nebula is the archetype of pulsar bow-shock nebulae. While it is clearly seen in H-alpha, previous attempts to detect its X-ray counterpart have failed. Only recently Chandra has detected a 2' long extended feature, which starts at the pulsar position. Its orientation, however, deviates by ~118 deg from the pulsar's proper motion direction, calling for very peculiar physical conditions in the ISM and the magnetic field structure in the environment surrounding the pulsar. In order to study this linear feature in more detail than possible with the Chandra data we propose XMM-Newton observations.
