Scientific paper

The TeV source HESS J1731-347 discovered in the H.E.S.S. Galactic plane survey has an intriguing possible counterpart seen in ROSAT survey data. The X-ray data show an extended nebular structure with a hard spectrum in close coincidence to the core of the TeV source. It is plausible to assume that the same energetic particle population is responsible for the emission in both bands. We propose to perform XMM-Newton observations on this TeV/X-ray emission region to identify the particle acceleration site and mechanism which is responsible for the radiation seen in HESS J1731-347. This will help resolving the question which astrophysical sources are the main accelerators of high energy particles in our Galaxy.
