Scientific paper

The remarkable supernova remnant SNR 0538-69.1 in the LMC contains the recently discovered 16 ms pulsar, the fastest known pulsar associated with a SNR. This Crab-like remnant consists of three distinct X-ray-emitting components: a compact source, an unusual elongated feature, and a diffuse emission region. We propose an HRC observation to pinpoint the location of the pulsar, to conduct detailed timing analysis, and to resolve the structure of the remnant, particularly the elongated X-ray feature. This observation, together with an off-axis ACIS-I pointing and our extensive multiwavelength database of the region, will allow for a comprehensive study of the structure and evolution of the remnant and will provide important constraints on pulsar evolution.
