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. A handful low-surface brightness SNRs were recently discovered with the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS). All SNRs are believed to be the remnants of core-collapse explosions, young, and harbor X-ray point sources. We here propose to observe 2 of 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.
