Scientific paper

Observations of thermal components in the X-ray spectra of young pulsars provide insights into fundamental physics of neutron star interiors and magnetospheres. A short XMM-Newton exposure of the 7 kyr old PSR J1357 6429 has revealed thermal emission from the NS surface and an elongated diffuse feature extending from the pulsar, most likely a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Observations with Chandra HRC-S have have provided tentative detections of a compact PWN and pulsations. Here we propose a detailed study of the pulsar's spectral and timing properties, and deep imaging and spectroscopy of the PWN with XMM-Newton and Chandra.
