We propose a mini-survey of unidentified TeV sources having young Vela-likepulsars with known X-ray PWNe as their neighbors. Although these pulsars show10.-15. offsets from the center of the TeV brightness distribution, they arelikely to be connected to the nearby TeV sources through a faint asymmetricX-ray nebulae formed as a result of the interaction between the SNR reverseshock and the pulsar wind. To test this, we propose to obtain deep X-ray imagesof several crushed PWN candidates to search for correlations between the X-rayand TeV emission. Confirming that the X-ray PWNe are preferentially extendedtoward the neighboring TeV sources will establish the viability of the crushedPWN model and reveal the nature of the currently unidentified TeV sources.

Mission Description
The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
