Scientific paper

We propose to observed two pulsar wind nebula (PWN) candidates, serendipitously discovered in a AO4 XMM-Newton survey on non-thermal supernova shells, for which the existing data are insufficient to draw any firm conclusion. Contrary to classical PWNe, our two targets are located a the rim of the shells and seems to have elliptical morhpology indicative of bow shocks. If their plerionic nature will be confirmed, they will add to the emerging class of high velocity pulsars, providing a natural reason to explain the lack of pulsar-SNR associations in other X-ray surveys.
