Description GT- The aim of this proposal is to investigate the soft and hard tail emission
properties of cooling neutron stars in the energy range 0.1 - 10 keV, making
use of the unprecedented sensitivity of the EPIC-PN/MOS and RGS instruments
aboard XMM. Timing studies will allow us to constrain the pulsars temporal
emission properties and to perform pulse-phase resolved spectroscopy.
The relative phase between the pulsars X-ray and radio pulse will be
determined. Wide-field imaging with MOS and the OM will help to constrain
the nature of X-ray sources discovered recently in the pulsars neighborhood
and being claimed to represent the clumpy part of a pulsar-wind nebula.
Note: See note on PSR1055-52 within Included Scientific Justification file.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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.
