Scientific paper

Increasing the sample of neutron star-SNR associations is needed to study the dynamics and evolution of supernova explosions of massive stars and to unveil the properties of their collapsed cores. Four young low-surface brightness SNRs were recently discovered with the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey. All four SNRs are believed to be the remnants of core-collapse explosions, young, and harbor ROSAT or Chandra point sources. We here propose to observe these SNRs with XMM-Newton in order to primarily detect and characterize their X-ray emission. Their low-surface brightness, high column density, size, age, and lack of X-ray spectral information, make XMM the best satellite to date to perform this study.
