Scientific paper

The young "Vela"-like isolated neutron star PSR B1706-44 is a copious emitter of high energy radiation. The system is a composite one with the neutron star embedded in a 27 arcsec compact synchrotron nebula. We are proposing HRC-I and ACIS-I observations with the aim of: 1) detecting the pulsations from the young neutron star and phase relating the pulsed light curve to the gamma-ray light curve; 2) characterizing the morphology of the compact synchrotron nebula and ascertaining the energetics of the system; and 3) measuring the surface temperature of the neutron star and the spectrum of the compact nebula. These observations will help in the understanding of the spindown energy loss and the thermal evolution of neutron star matter.
