Scientific paper

The toroidal symmetry axis of isolated pulsar wind nebulae (PWN) provides a model-independant measure of the spin orientation. We have selected a set of PWN spanning the age range 10^4-10^6y, that are modeled to show resolvable toroidal wind termination shocks. These objects can also provide proper motion vectors and the angle between these momenta gives profound constraints on the origin of pulsar velocities and a new probe of neutron star core collapse. Our proposed spectral imaging study will provide new measurements of PWN energetics and evolution and will additionally give spectrum and flux measurements to track the cooling history of the young central neutron stars.
