Scientific paper

Supernova remnants and pulsar nebulae with unusual morphologies indicate complicated interactions with their surroundings, demonstrating the wide variety of conditions into which supernovae explode. G357.7-0.1 ("the Tornado") is an extraordinary example of such a source - there has been heated debate as to whether its bizarre radio appearance corresponds to a supernova remnant, a pulsar nebula, or even an exotic accreting system. We have recently detected faint extended X-ray emission from this system with Chandra, the data from which seem to be best explained by a thermal spectrum characteristic of shock-heated gas. From these properties, we tentatively propose that the Tornado is a supernova remnant. We here propose deeper XMM observations to test this claim.
