Scientific paper

We propose imaging the Crab Nebula and Pulsar to achieve 2 fundamental objectives uniquely obtainable with AXAF -- (1) high-resolution imaging of nebular features and (2) measuring (or constraining) the surface temperature of the underlying neutron star. Imaging the Crab requires use of a grating as a neutral density filter. Thus our observations will also provide high-resolution spectroscopy to allow studies of absorption in the interstellar medium, including Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure, and spectral variation within the Nebula.
