Scientific paper

Vela X is a bright nearby composite SNR in which interactions of the reverse shock with the central pulsar wind nebula have produced a complex emission structure. Broadband modeling indicates a spectral disconnect between the populations of radio and X-ray emitting particles, and subsequent gamma-ray measurements appear to confirm this. In particular, recent measurements with the Fermi LAT reveal that the peak of the GeV gamma-ray emission is spatially separated from the dominant regions of emission in hard X-rays and TeV gamma-rays. We propose an XMM observation of the GeV emission peak region to provide spectra for comparison of the nonthermal X-ray emission with that from other regions within the PWN.
