Scientific paper

G357.7-0.1 ("the Tornado") is an unusual radio source whose morphology defies classification. We have discovered an X-ray source coincident with the Tornado, which we argue represents either a central pulsar or an exotic accreting system, both of which could power the surrounding radio emission. High-resolution X-ray imaging, followed by a search for an infrared counterpart, can distinguish between these possibilities. We thus propose ACIS observations with which we can establish the properties of the central source in the Tornado, and so finally determine the nature of this enigmatic object.
