Scientific paper

3C58 is the youngest known Crab-like SNR in the Galaxy. Chandra observations have uncovered its young pulsar, provided an upper limit to its surface temperature which challenges standard models of NS cooling, and identified the termination shock of its wind. Structures in the nebula indicative of jets and particle outflows have also been revealed. 3C58 thus possesses all of the standard traits of a young pulsar system, and may be a more appropriate "prototype" than the Crab. Based on the foundation built from our initial studies, we propose a definitive X-ray study of 3C58 to study structure on scales of the telescope resolution, perform spectral mapping of the complex emission regions, and obtain a template for future studies of this remnant of SN 1181 at other wavelengths.
