Scientific paper

We propose a 50 ks HETG-ACIS observation of the Crab pulsar. The excellent ACIS spatial resolution will enable us for the first time to obtain a "clean" grating spectrum of the pulsar itself. Although we will obtain an image of the pulsar, it will be pilled-up, as our observing strategy is to obtain a high quality grating spectrum. Rather, we intend to verify the evidence for an expanding remnant shell that has been marginally detected in the existing calibration observations. The proposed observation will also allow us to study the X-ray Absorption Fine Structure in the interstellar medium.
