Scientific paper

The H.E.S.S. collaboration recently confirmed the Milagro TeV gamma-ray source MGRO 1908+06 and determined its position with sufficient accuracy to allow follow-up observations with XMM-Newton. The unusually hard TeV spectrum and the low X-ray to gamma-ray flux ratio of the source indicate that, unlike most unidentified TeV sources, it is probably not a pulsar wind nebula but may represent a new class of objects. We propose to observe MGRO 1908+06 in order to identify its X-ray counterpart, determine its location with arcsecond precision, and determine whether it is extended or a point source. The accurate source position provided by XMM-Newton will be essential to identify counterparts at other wavelengths and carry out multi-wavelength studies of the source.
