Scientific paper

We propose an imaging survey of our newly discovered X-ray counterparts of Galactic GeV sources. The targets selected have no known radio pulsar identification, but resemble identified pulsar/wind nebula complexes, with hard spectra and modest absorption. The ACSA discovery data could not separate the pulsar point source candidates, make accurate measurements of the flux and absorption or map the fine structure in the surrounding diffuse emission. Short ACIS imaging observations efficiently use CXO's sensitivity and resolution to accomplish all of these goals. These observations will test the pulsar model for these GeV sources, will set the stage for sensitive pulse searches and will help us decide if Geminga is unique or the archetype of a new Galactic population.
