| Description | We propose first X-rays observations of the high magnetic field middle-age radio pulsar B1727-47. Models predict that high magnetic field pulsars are hotter than pulsars with lower magnetic field. However, current X-ray data on highly magnetized pulsars are scarce to confidently confirm this. Analysis of the radio timing and interferometry data suggest that B1727-47 has a significant proper motion, which points on the association with the nearby (<1 kpc) evolved supernova remnant RCW 114. Potential proximity, high Galactic latitude (b=-7.69 deg) and thus low absorption (Nh<2e21 cm-2) make PSR B1727-47 a good X-ray target to study magnetic field impact on the thermal emission properties of rotation powered pulsars. |

| 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. |
