Scientific paper

Galactic X-ray sources correspond to a variety of exotic populations. Most sources with X-ray fluxes above 1e-11 erg/cm^2/s are well-known objects, while below 1e-13 erg/cm^2/s, AGN, CVs and active stars dominate. However, many low-latitude sources lie between these two regimes, corresponding to young and relatively rare populations such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and star clusters. As part of an effort to identify all the X-ray sources in the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey, we here propose XMM observations of six unidentified, extended, ASCA sources. Combined with our on-going Chandra observations of unresolved ASCA sources, this work will complete the demography of Galactic X-ray sources, from Sco X-1 down to the faintest sources known.
