Scientific paper

A new continuum survey of the Galactic Plane using the VLA at 20cm is providing images with a fifty-fold improvement in sensitivity and angular resolution over existing single-dish maps of the plane. Three square degrees of the survey area has been covered by XMM snapshot observations which have revealed an intriguing hard X-ray source coincident with a radio point source and surrounded by a very low surface brightness radio shell -- a classic candidate for a young radio pulsar. We propose to image this source with Chandra in order to provide an accurate position for followup in the crowded Galactic Plane and to resolve any surrounding PWN that is to be expected around a young pulsar.
