Scientific paper

Chandra studies of pulsar wind nebulae have revealed stunning new information on the composition of the winds, the presence of jets and equatorial outflows, and the structure in and around the wind termination shock. Monitoring observations reveal temporal variations in resolved structures that challenge our understanding of particle acceleration and energy flow in these systems. Here we propose deep observations of G54.1+0.3 and PSR B1509-58 in order to probe the complex structure in their interior regions at arcsecond resolution. These observations will allow us to measure the spectrum and morphology of these features in order to constrain models for particle acceleration, the formation and structure of jets, and the geometry of particle flows in PWNe.
