Scientific paper

PWNe offer a valuable astrophysical laboratory to study the physics of pulsar outflows and their interaction with their surrounding medium. Their X-ray study in particular offers insights into the energetics of the powering engine, the characteristics of the pulsar wind, and the conditions of the confining ambient medium. We propose a 70ks XMM-Newton observation of G63.7+1.1, a PWN discovered at radio wavelengths, but not yet explored in X-rays. Our proposed study, when correlated with our radio data obtained with the CGPS and the Effelsberg radio telescope, and with new CO data acquired with the JCMT, should allow us to answer many of the unknown yet basic properties of this object, including its distance, age, magnetic field geometry and strength, and the energetics of its powering engine.
