Scientific paper

We propose AXAF-ACIS observations of the remnant of the historic supernova SN 386AD and its associated 65~ms X-ray pulsar, recently discovered in the direction of the remnant by ASCA. This is only the second association of a pulsar with a historical supernova, after the Crab. A detection of the pulsar by AXAF will determine the pulsar spin-down rate - and hence its age, surface magnetic field and spin-down luminosity. This observation will also provide a glimpse at a rare, young pulsar-driven plerion and supernova shell system. The high resolution morphology and spectroscopy of the plerion and shell, possible only with AXAF, will provide a unique opportunity for investigating the flow dynamics and composition of a young pulsar's relativistic wind.
