Scientific paper

In the HESS survey of the Galactic plane performed in 2006-2008, many new VHE gamma-ray sources have been discovered and most of them are still unidentified. One interesting newly discovered source has several positional counterparts: a SNR, two rather powerful pulsars and several unidentified sources in the hard X-ray range and at GeV energies, that are suggested to be variable. Recently a GeV pulsar has been detected in this region by Fermi. We propose for a 25ks XMM-Newton observation on this source to study if the TeV and the GeV source are physically connected and to shed light on their nature. The aim is to obtain morphological and spectral information on the possible X-ray counterparts in order to better understand the emission mechanism of this source(s).
