Scientific paper

The Vela pulsar observation with the CXO ACIS, 105 days after the large glitch of January 16, 2000, shows a striking spatial feature 1.4 arcsec away from the pulsar. Preliminary spectral analysis shows that this could be a cloud of relativistic plasma emitting synchrotron radiation. No known instrumental effects can produce such a structure. This observation needs to be verified to ensure that this is not a result of a yet unknown instrumental artifact. If confirmed, it will be the most important discovery made possible by the superb spatial resolution of Chandra. This proposal is aimed at verifying that the observed structure is real and measuring its properties to investigate the new glitch effect. Otherwise this observation will help better understand the properties of ACIS.
