Abstract	We have discovered extended emission with very peculiar properties around themagnetar Swift J1834.9-0846, which we interpreted as a wind nebula powered bythe ultra-strong magnetic field of the source. The nebula shows strikingasymmetric morphology and a soft spectrum unusual for a pulsar-wind nebula. Themagnetar and its nebula are located within SNR W41 and embedded in a field withTeV and GeV high energy sources whose origin is unknown. We propose a total of150 ks observation with XMM-Newton to study the large-scale (3 arcminutes)morphology and perform detailed spectroscopy on the nebula, as well as study theconnection to the high-energy sources in the field.

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.
