Scientific paper

We propose a 75-ks observation with XMM-Newton to study the recently-discovered pulsar wind nebula G75.2+0.1, which is associated with the Vela-like pulsar PSR J2021+3651. These observations will complement a 19.0-ks Chandra observation of the source made by our group, which discovered thermal X-rays from the pulsar as well as an apparently toroidal inner nebula. XMM's larger effective area and field of view will allow us to image and perform spectroscopy on the faint diffuse emission surrounding the inner nebula, and to determine whether faint jets, hinted at by our Chandra observation, are indeed present along the nebula's axis of symmetry.
