Scientific paper

We propose ACIS imaging and Continuous Clocking observations of the recently discovered very energetic young pulsar PSR J1420-6048. This pulsar is contained within the `Kookaburra' radio complex and is a likely counterpart of the GeV source 3EG J1420-6038. ASCA observations of the region reveal an extended hard X-ray source positionally coincident with the pulsar, and yield a marginal X-ray pulse detection. The ACIS will be able to resolve the pulsar from the nebula, and yield a good pulse profile and spectrum. We can simultaneously study the nearby `Rabbit' radio/X-ray nebula, a potential plerion, to study its morphology and spectrum, and to search for pulsations.
