Scientific paper

The TeV instrument H.E.S.S. discovered during a survey of the Galactic plane three sources close to highly energetic pulsars. It was hence suggested that these gamma-ray sources are counterparts of pulsar wind nebulae (PWN). Indeed, in one of these cases the PWN has been well studied with XMM-Newton, which allowed a firm identification of the TeV source with the PWN. With this proposal, we want to use XMM-Newton to identify the X-ray counterpart of HESS J1804-216. This TeV source can also most likely be explained as emission from a PWN, but so far this PWN around PSR B1800-21 has not been detected in any other waveband. The PWN detection may also hold the clue for the so far not firmly established association of PSR B1800-21 to the supernova remnant G8.7-0.1.
