Scientific paper

We propose to observe with Chandsra ACIS in Continuous Clocking mode the two TeV emitters High Mass X-ray binaries LS I 61+303 and LS 5039, for 95 and 71ks, respectively. Aim of these Chandra observations is to address the long-standing puzzle on the nature of the compact objects hosted by these two TeV binaries, searching with unprecedented sensitivity for X-ray pulsations from these putative young rotational powered pulsars. As a nice by product we will also study the one-dimensional X-ray angular distribution searching (or, in the case of LS I 61+303, confirming with higher significance) for extended X-ray emission.
