Abstract Supernova Remnants of center-filled and composite types often host young,energetic pulsars emitting strong relativistic winds. XMM-Newton and Chandraobservations of such SNRs have already resulted in a number of pulsar andpulsar-wind nebula (PWN) discoveries. We propose to observe three plerionicremnants located within a 7 kpc distance. The SNRs were selected based on theirradio morphologies and archival ROSAT data. We expect to expand the limitedsample of X-ray bright PWNe suitable for detailed X-ray studies.

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.
