Further Imaging of Rpwn in Variable Gamma-Ray Error Boxes
Abstract
We propose to obtain deeper images of two pulsar wind nebulae coincident with variable gamma-ray sources. Short, exploratory observations of these sources with Chandra, along with their radio properties, suggest they are RPWN with possible forward bow-shocks seen in X-rays. These new observations will determine the fine structure of the nebulae, allow meaningful spectral constraints on sub-components, and provide baseline images for future variability studies concurrent with gamma-ray observations by AGILE and GLAST.
