Scientific paper

The Chandra observations have shown the fine structure of the synchrotron pulsar-wind nebula (PWN) around the Vela pulsar and an appreciable change of the brightness and spectra of its elements in 7 months between two ACIS-S observations. To understand the nature of the morphological and spectral variations, we propose a series of eight logarithmically spaced ACIS-S observations, 20 ks each, which will allow us to determine the time scale(s) and the magnitude of the variations, to probe the properties of the relativistic plasma in the PWN, and to study the interaction of the relativistic pulsar wind with the ambient medium.
