Scientific paper

The number of X-ray pulsars and plerions associated with supernova remnants (SNRs) has been continuously increasing, thanks to Chandra's superb resolution. These discoveries are advancing our understanding of the birth properties and evolution of neutron stars, and challenging decades of theoretical work, by revealing a new class of puzzling compact objects. Expanding the sample of neutron star-SNR associations is needed to address this growing zoo. Two young faint SNRs recently discovered by the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CGPS), and a third nearby remnant, are classified as Shells--yet they have a centrally-filled X-ray morphology hinting at the presence of compact objects. We propose to observe them with ACIS to primarily hunt for their putative collapsed cores.
