Scientific paper

During a scan of the Galactic plane performed in 2004, H.E.S.S. (the currently most sensitive TeV telescope) has discovered a new class of so far unidentified TeV gamma-ray sources. We propose to use XMM to perform follow-up observations on a set of four of these sources, which have plausible associations with known Supernova remnants. The large sensitivity of XMM and its energy range up to 15 keV are required to provide a detailed view of the morphology of the surroundings of the TeV sources. This will allow us either to prove that the spatial coincidences of the gamma-ray sources and the Supernova remnants are of physical origin, or else to discover and identify the yet unknown counterparts of the TeV sources.
