  "abstract": "We report on diffuse X-ray emission associated with the nearby solitary millisecond pulsar PSR J2124-3358 detected with XMM-Newton and Chandra. The emission extends from the pulsar to the northwest by ~0.5 arcmin. The spectrum of the nebular emission can be modeled with a power-law of photon index $2.2\\pm0.4$, in line with the emission originating from accelerated particles in the post shock flow. For PSR J0437-4715, PSR J0030+0451 and PSR J1024-0719, which all have spin parameters comparable to that of PSR J2124-3358, no diffuse emission is detected down to a 3-sigma limiting flux of $4-7\\times10^{-15}$ ergs s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$.",
