Scientific paper

Our moderate spatial resolution observations from XMM-Newton of the radio pulsar PSR 0355+54 have discovered X-ray emission not only from the point source but also diffuse emission extending in the opposite direction to the pulsar's proper motion. We propose high spatial resolution measurements with Chandra that will allow us to solve the puzzle of the nature of the extended emission. These observations of this Vela-like pulsar will also enable us to search for the expected torus and jet morphology and test the natal kick theory. We request 70 ks with ACIS-S to probe the physics of PSR 0355+54.
