Scientific paper

ACIS observations are proposed to disentangle the complex hard X-ray environment of the bright unidentified gamma-ray source 2EG J1811-2339. ASCA data have shown a diffuse nonthermal nebula consistent with a plerion and a complex of X-ray sources coincident with a nearby stellar association. AXAF angular resolution is needed to isolate a possible pulsar point source in the candidate plerion, to identify the individual hot stars seen in hard X-rays and to map the non-thermal emission at fine scales. A modest ACIS exposure accomplishes these tasks and provides important spectral constraints on the point source components. This project will shed light on the nature of this GeV source and may identify the birthsite of its stellar progenitor.
