Scientific paper

Empowered by the superb imaging performance of Chandra, we are making good progress in determining the nature of the persistent high-energy gamma-ray sources in the Galaxy. Young pulsar counterparts are being found directly by resolving point sources within synchrotron nebulae to distances of 2-4 kpc, where the most luminous EGRET sources reside. At intermediate Galactic latitudes, precise Chandra astrometry is establishing the existence of nearby, older neutron stars, by the absence of optical counterparts. Following our successes using both of these methods, we propose to pinpoint a set of previously studied candidates, which will make a significant addition to the population of young, energetic pulsars, and/or nearby older neutron stars that are also efficient gamma-ray pulsars.
