Scientific paper

PSR 0656+14 is the brightest of the three middle-aged pulsars emitting thermal radiation in the soft X-ray range. The previous X-ray and optical observations have revealed three components of the pulsar radiation, with different spectral and timing properties. Two thermal components (soft and hard) are emitted from the neutron star surface. The nonthermal power-law component is emitted from the pulsar's magnetosphere and/or a compact nebula which has not been resolved. The proposed 30-ks ACIS-S observation will allow us to accurately separate the components and establish their origins, to determine chemical composition and distributions of temperature and magnetic field at the neutron star surface, to constrain the pulsar mass and radius, and to search for the synchrotron nebula.
