Scientific paper

The energetic pulsar J0855-4644 coincides with an enhancement in X-rays and TeV gamma-rays along the rim of the SNR RX J0852.0-4622, which could represent its pulsar wind nebula. We propose to study the spectrum and morphology of this candidate nebula to draw inferences about its nature, which cannot be done conclusively with currently available X-ray data (from ASCA). We also propose to characterise the emission from the previously poorly studied South-East rim of SNR RX J0852.0-4622. The wide field of view and broad energy coverage of XMM-Newton will allow to disentangle these components from the foreground thermal X-ray emission from the Vela SNR.
