Scientific paper

We propose to carry out an observation of the Vela-like PSR B1823-13 with Chandra's ACIS-S. The primary goal is to separate the point source from the surrounding nebula, so that we can conduct spectral analysis. We emphasize that only Chandra's instruments can clearly eliminate the contamination of the point source spectrum from the photons originating from the compact nebula. The comparison of the results thus obtained with neutron star cooling theories will help us determine the composition of the stellar interior, degree of superfluidity, the equation of state, and stellar radius. We will also be able to study the structural and spectral details of the compact nebula surrounding the pulsar, that will also have direct impact on some of the areas of pulsar astrophysics.
