Scientific paper

We propose monitoring observations of the Crab Nebula with an instrumental setup which suppresses event pile-up (i.e, inserting grating and adopting short frame time) and will allow us for the first time to perform a spectroscopic study of the variable inner ring and the wisps emerging outward from the ring. Both the inner ring and the wisps are related to a magnetohydrodynamic shock where the pulsar wind is terminated, randomized, and converted into the pulsar wind nebula. Thus, it is crucial to derive the spectral properties as well as the dynamic properties for understanding of a formation mechanism of the pulsar wind nebula.
