Scientific paper

PSR J1906+0746 is a recently discovered pulsar in a tight binary (orbital period 3.98 hours) where the second component is either a heavy WD or a NS. The binary is unique because PSR J1906+0746 is young and energetic compared to the pulsars in other tight NS-NS or NS-WD binaries. It has been suggested that in such binaries the interaction between the pulsar wind and the companion can significantly enchance X-ray emission and result in variability with orbital phase. J1906+0746 is an ideal system for testing this hypothesis. We propose an exploratory observation to measure the fluxes of different emission components, resolve the extended PWN and search for variability with orbital phase.
