Scientific paper

PSR J1119-6127 is a 1,700 year-old, high magnetic field radio pulsar (PSR), discovered near the center of the supernova remnant: SNR G292.2-0.5. X-ray observations revealed a point source ~1.5' from the radio pulsar and ~1' from an IRAS source, making this system a unique target to better understand the PSR-SNR association and the way pulsars dump their energy in their surroundings. The poor statistics of available X-ray data preculdes determining the nature of the underlying emission mechanism from any part of the remnant. We propose a 60 ksec ACIS-S observation to image the immediate vicinity of the X-ray source, determine whether it is an unresolved synchrotron nebula or a precursor LMXB, and get reliable parameters for the SN explosion.
