Scientific paper

There are 274 supernova remnants (SNRs) have been identified in the Milky Way. Most SNRs are discovered in radio surveys. In view of various selection effects, the current sample of SNRs is clearly incomplete. ROSAT all-sky survey data have provided another window to search for SNRs. We have chosen some bright and promising SNR candidates as the starting point of a long-term identification campaign. We propose a set of short XMM-Newton observations to have a full coverage of these targets in order to investigate their spectra and morphologies in details as well as to search for the associated compact stellar remnants produced in the supernova explosions.
