Scientific paper

We propose exploratory Chandra ACIS observations of two well-known nearby radio pulsars, B1257+12 and B1133+16. PSR 1257+12 is the famous millisecond pulsar with a planetary system, while PSR B1133+16 is a radio-bright nulling pulsar. These pulsars have not been observed with Chandra or XMM, and only shallow limits were found from short ROSAT observations. The immediate objective of the proposed observations is to detect the pulsars, estimate their X-ray fluxes, and crudely characterize their spectra. If the detected X-ray emission is bright enough, we will propose longer follow-up observations for phase-resolved spectroscopy.
