Abstract

We present the results from the data analysis of the XMM-Newton observation (53.6 ks) on PSR J1849-0001. We studied in detail the X-ray emission of this pulsar and we found extended emission (up to ~100 arcsec) from the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN), confirming that this is a case of a Pulsar/PWN system and strengthening the evidence that X-ray, hard X-ray and TeV gamma-ray sources are manifestations of the same system. Another important result of our study is the clear evidence that the X-ray PWN of PSR J1849-0001 is asymmetric.
