   X-ray emission holds crucial clues to rotationally-powered pulsars'
   energetics and interaction with their surroundings, yet the paucity
   of known sources and the surprising inhomogeneity of their properties
   has left models poorly constrained. Only by discovering new sources
   will progress be made. We request ASCA time to observe a
   newly-discovered fast pulsar, PSR J1105-6107, an excellent candidate
   for detectable X-ray emission, and a possible counterpart to EGRET
   source 2EG J1103-6106. The large possible absorption toward the
   source makes ASCA the X-ray instrument of choice. This proposal is
   part of a coordinated multiwavelength effort, which includes single
   dish and interferometric radio observations, and CGRO/EGRET
   observations.
