Scientific paper

The 3.15ms pulsar PSR J1614-2230 was discovered during a recent radio survey of unidentified EGRET gamma-ray sources. It is the first true millisecond pulsar detected with a companion whose minimum mass is as large as 0.4 solar masses. A short (5ks), exploratory XMM-Newton observation revealed it to be an X-ray source with an apparent extended nebular trail. Here we request a 20ks Chandra ACIS-S observation to image the structure of the nebular trail which will complement spectral studies to be performed with an already accepted deeper (50ks) observation by XMM-Newton.
