Scientific paper

We propose a mini-survey of unidentified TeV sources having young Vela-like pulsars with known X-ray PWNe as their neighbors. Although these pulsars show 10 -15 offsets from the center of the TeV brightness distribution, they are likely to be connected to the nearby TeV sources through a faint asymmetric X-ray nebulae formed as a result of the interaction between the SNR reverse shock and the pulsar wind. To test this, we propose to obtain deep X-ray images of several crushed PWN candidates to search for correlations between the X-ray and TeV emission. Confirming that the X-ray PWNe are preferentially extended toward the neighboring TeV sources will establish the viability of the crushed PWN model and reveal the nature of the currently unidentified TeV sources.
