Scientific paper

G359.23-0.82 ("the Mouse") is the ideal system for studying the physics of pulsar bow shock nebulae. However, ACIS observations of the Mouse offer little insight into compact nebular structures close to the pulsar, because of both pile-up and the likely presence of significant X-ray emission from the pulsar itself. We here propose an HRC-I observation of the Mouse, phase-resolved imaging from which will provide high-fidelity data on nebular structures close to the pulsar. With these data, we can identify possible wisps, jets, knots or other structures near or within the Mouse's termination shock, allowing us to compare the properties of the relativistic flow and particle acceleration process under a bow shock geometry to those seen in the well-studied "Crab-like" nebulae.
