Abstract	There is compelling evidence that the X-ray source AX J1838.0-0655 is associatedwith HESS J1837-069, an extended TeV gamma-ray source. Imaging with Chandra hasresolved AX J1838.0-0655 into a point source surrounded by a bright nebula.Therefore, this is almost certainly a young (<20 kyr), highly energetic (4E36ergs/s) pulsar powering a substantial wind nebula. We propose to use XMM-Newtonto detect the expected pulsations, critical for determining the energetics ofthe pulsar, which is needed to account for the size and displacement of the TeVnebula from its pulsar power source.

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.
