Scientific paper

It has become increasingly clear that the natal properties of young neutron stars exhibit a rich diversity --- dramatically illustrated by the enigmatic central object in Cas A and hinted at by early 3D modeling of core-collapse. We propose a survey of an objectively constructed sample of nearby SNRs which, when combined with archival data and our vigorous multi-wavelength observation program, will give us a reliable view of the true variety of neutron stars. The ensuing statistics and studies of the central objects will advance our understanding of core-collapse and have bearing on related topics (supernova energetics, natal kicks, etc). We believe that this comprehensive effort, a census of such objects within 5 kpc, will be one of the enduring legacies of the Chandra mission.
