Scientific paper

We propose a deep ACIS image of the PWN discovered around PSR J2021+3651 in a short AO4 observation. The nebula of this energetic pulsar is interesting as it seems to show the complex `double torus' structure only previously seen clearly around Vela. The pulsar itself is also interesting as it is a probable gamma-ray source, yet the large radio pulsar DM distance implies an enormous efficiency. The proposed deep imaging campaign addresses these issues, allowing both geometrical and spectral tests of the pulsar distance and measuring the PWN equatorial tori and jets in sufficient detail to allow comparison with pulsar wind models.
