Scientific paper

Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) are an exotic population of pulsating X-ray sources, which are now thought to be highly magnetized neutron stars ("magnetars"). However, the evolution, demography, and relation of magnetars to other types of neutron star are all not yet understood. We have identified a new candidate association between an AXP and a young supernova remnant (SNR), for which we propose XMM and Chandra observations. These data can confirm our AXP and SNR identifications, and can thus help constrain the origin, evolution and physical properties of the magnetar population.
