Abstract	We propose XMM observations of a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with theFrying Pan supernova remnant (SNR) G315.9-0.0. Powered by the energetic pulsarJ1437-5959 with a space velocity over 1000km/s, this remarkable PWN has aphysical extent over 20pc in radio, the longest pulsar tail ever observed. It isthe only known bow shock PWN with the parent SNR detected. This reveals theentire history of the system and allows us to determine many important physicalparameters that are not easily accessible in other bow shocks. Detecting anX-ray counterpart will complement our radio study to offer a complete physicalpicture of the system. This will advance our understanding of pulsar windelectrodynamics and relativistic shock physics.

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.
