Scientific paper

We propose XMM-Newton observations (60ks in 2x30ks pointings) of the unidentified TeV gamma-ray source HESSJ1614-518. HESSJ1614-518 is extended with radius ~0.4deg. The gamma-ray morphology of HESS~J1614-518 appears complex, with an arc of emission extending south and westwards. Despite our extensive search, we find no obvious counterparts. These include several pulsars, all with insufficient spin down power and also several catalogued X-ray sources (ROSAT and EXOSAT surveys). XMM-Newton observations will permit a detailed search for X-ray counterparts, further studies of the known X-ray sources, and play a vital role in establishing the electronic or hadronic nature of the parent particles of this enigmatic TeV source.
