Scientific paper

As the youngest member of the pure-plerion class of SNRs, yet with X-ray and radio properties strikingly different from the Crab Nebula, 3C 58 is one of the most important remnants in the Galaxy. Studies to date have clearly revealed a central compact source whose spectrum is compatible with hot polar cap emission from a neutron star. Broadband studies of 3C 58 show a spectral break below the IR indicative of a rapid decline in the pulsar output at a recent epoch. Prior X-ray measurements have been incapable of cleanly separating the pulsar and nebular spectra. Here we propose an ACIS observation which will provide us with the first opportunity to accurately measure the X-ray properties of the central pulsar and to investigate the detailed properties of its associated nebula.
