Scientific paper

There is compelling evidence that the X-ray source AX J1838.0-0655 is associated with HESS J1837-069, an extended TeV gamma-ray source. Imaging with Chandra has resolved AX J1838.0-0655 into a point source surrounded by a bright nebula. Therefore, this is almost certainly a young (<20 kyr), highly energetic (4E36 ergs/s) pulsar powering a substantial wind nebula. We propose to use XMM-Newton to detect the expected pulsations, critical for determining the energetics of the pulsar, which is needed to account for the size and displacement of the TeV nebula from its pulsar power source.
