Scientific paper

The source G359.23-0.92 ("the Mouse") is a spectacular object, with a compact radio/X-ray head and a long cometary radio tail. This morphology strongly suggests that the Mouse is the result of a young high-velocity pulsar interacting with the ambient medium. We propose an ACIS-S observation of this source, with the twin aims of detecting the unseen pulsar and imaging its surrounding nebula. Any young and energetic pulsar thus identified would be an important addition to the small number of such sources known, while imaging of the nebula presents an opportunity to study the geometry and morphology of the bow shock produced by the pulsar's motion.
