Scientific paper

We request 140 ks of Chandra time, distributed among three targets, to resolve the uncertain identifications of two candidate middle-aged pulsars associated with supernova remnants, and to search for a third. Middle-aged (~10 kyr) neutron stars are valuable because they are transition objects: their cooling behavior constrains the equation of state of super-dense matter in neutron star cores, and their steadily dwindling excitation of surrounding nebulae, unlike younger pulsars such as the Crab, is a theoretically well-studied but observationally unconstrained regime in supernova remnant studies.
