Scientific paper

Chandra observations of pulsar wind nebulae have revolutionized our understanding of these systems, revealing a wide variety of complex structures that all relate to the basic conversion of spin-down power to an axisymmetric wind with collimated outflows. Based on initial observations, G54.1+0.3 displays Doppler-brightened emission from the wind termination shock region, large-scale jets that form the elongated structure of the nebula, and faint emission that hints at a possible torus as well as large-scale filamentary structure. We propose a Chandra Large Project to obtain deep observations of G54.1+0.3 in order to resolve these structures, study their spectra, and derive properties related to flow conditions and the magnetic field structure of the nebula.
