Scientific paper

We propose monitoring observations of the Crab Nebula using a short frame time combined with the transmission grating, which suppress an event pile-up and allow us to perform a spectroscopic study of wisps and inner ring for the first time. Both wisps and inner ring are related to a magnetohydrodynamic shock where the pulsar wind is terminated, randomized, and diffuse into the pulsar wind nebula. Thus, to derive the spectral properties as well as the dynamic properties is crucial to understand a formation mechanism of the pulsar wind nebula. This proposed observation also allows us to study a longer-term variabilities.
