Scientific paper

We recently obtained a Chandra observation of the shell-type radio supernova remnant G12.82-0.02 coincident with a HESS TeV gamma-ray source. The data reveal an X-ray point source surrounded by a bright nebula at the center of the remnant shell. The properties of this system lead to only one possible conclusion: a young (<20kyr), highly energetic (>4E36 erg/s) pulsar powering a substantial wind nebula associated with the supernova remnant. An XMM observation would have an excellent chance of detecting the expected pulsations, critical for determining the energetics of the system and resolving the nature of the observed TeV emission.
