Scientific paper

The non-thermal nebula surrounding PSR B1509-58 in the supernova remnant (SNR) G320.4-1.2 is the second brightest pulsar nebula in the X-ray sky, and as such is optimal for a detailed study of the interaction of a young pulsar's wind with its surroundings. The nebula displays striking asymmetric jet-like structures, and there is strong evidence of interaction between these jets and the SNR shell, providing a unique opportunity to better examine the properties of pulsar winds. We propose to use the great sensitivity and high field of view of XMM to study the large-scale, diffuse emission from this distinctly anisotropic pulsar wind and its interaction with the surrounding SNR. The proposed setup will be complementary to the existing XMM data on the pulsar and inner nebula.
