Abstract	X-ray emission from radio-silent neutron stars in supernova remnants providesunique opportunity to study cooling of young neutron stars and the properties ofthe superdense matter in their interiors. We propose the XMM observation of oneof such objects, RX J0002+6246, a neutron star candidate associated with the SNRCTB1. The ROSAT observations of this object have been interpreted in terms ofneutron star atmosphere models. The proposed XMM observation will enable us todetermine chemical composition, magnetic field and temperature of the atmosphereof RX J0002+6246, to constrain the neutron star radius and mass, and toestablish its rotation period. We will also investigate the morphology andphysical conditions of the diffuse matter in the supernova remnant.

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.
