Scientific paper

We propose to observe a highly absorbed, compact, radio-bright SNR, 3C 396 (G39.2-0.3), to search for a pulsar, a compact synchrotron nebula, and for radio-X-ray correlations on the arcsecond scale. The X-ray spectrum shows weak lines, and may be dominated at higher energies by a pulsar nebula or by synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons. Chandra's spatial resolution allows the direct search for a pulsar or compact synchrotron nebula, and in conjunction with 1.4"-resolution radio images, should allow careful morphological comparison to test this possibility. Many more SNR-pulsar associations are expected; there are few enough known that each new one teaches us new things about pulsars, SNRs, and their interaction.
