Abstract	The TeV source HESS J1420-607 is coincident with the Kookaburras northern radiowing, and is most probably associated to the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered bythe high spin-down pulsar PSR J1420-6048. It is extended along the radiostructure and has a flux of about 0.1 Crab. ASCA observations of the PWN haverevealed a 6 extended structure with a photon spectral index of 1.6 apparentlyinconsistent with the steeper TeV spectrum, which probes lower energy electrons.Here, we propose a deep XMM observation of the PWN of PSR J1420-6047 to have acomplete multiwavelength determination of its morphology, in particular revealthe compact nebula and the nebula trail, and characterize its pectrum over thewhole nebula extent to check the association with the TeV 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.
