Scientific paper

The number of currently known Crab-like neutron stars is far below that expected from the Galactic supernova rate. Such neutron stars are likely to be found in small-diameter supernova remnants. We propose observations of G351.2+0.1 and G341.9-0.3, two compact SNRs selected from the MOST Catalog, with the goal of detecting new members of the young neutron star family. The 45 ks observations will be sensitive to detection of the faintest currently known member of this young class, even if located in the most distant spiral arms of the Galaxy. Detections of Crab-like components will lead to more sensitive studies in the radio and X-ray band in order to search for the young pulsars driving the systems.
