Scientific paper

Using our Chandra observation, we discovered a central compact object (CCO) in the supernova remnant (SNR) G330.2+1.0, a rare example of an SNR dominated by nonthermal X-ray emission. Based on the Chandra results, we propose a 105 ks follow-up XMM-Newton observation of the CCO and SNR. Our primary goal is to search for pulsations from the CCO, including a test for the ~7.48 s period which is suggested by the Chandra data, but only with a marginal significance. The high time resolution and high sensitivity XMM-Newton observations are essential to verify or to search for the CCO period. We will also perform a spectral analysis of the CCO and SNR utilizing the good photon statistics that will be obtained with XMM-Newton.
