Scientific paper

Most HESS sources are very extended objects for which counterparts are difficult to find. But all point like or quasi point like objects have rich X-ray counterparts. In particular, XMM observations of HESS J1813-178 and HESS J1640-465 have revealed bright X-ray nebulae inside radio shells. We propose to observe the newly discovered quasi point like source lying at the south of HESS J1837-069, which is devoid of any X-ray observations and lacking MWL counterparts. Its TeV characteristics are suggestive of a possible young pulsar wind nebula association. We propose to test this hypothesis using a 20 ks XMM pointing.
