Subject: SUPERNOVA REMNANTS AND GALACTIC DIFFUSE EMISSION

SEARCH FOR AN X-RAY PULSAR IN THE COMPOSITE TYPE SUPERNOVA REMNANT KES 75


ABSTRACT

We propose here a re-observation of the composite type supernova remnant Kes~75 (G29.7-0.3). The source is a young (~1,000 yr) object with the ``Crab-like'' plerionic core. We believe the source is the most promising object to discover a young energetic pulsar. By combining the new data with the ASCA PV phase data, we will be able to determine the pulsar period and its derivative. We use these papameters to construct a quantitative model of the pulsar / supernova remnant interaction.
