Abstract	Discoveries of rotation-powered X-ray pulsars have increased substantially inthe last several years, but their properties have yet to conform to a singlepattern. We argue that pulsars have a high probability of being found in thevicinity of supernova remnants. Based on a survey of point-like sources in theASCA archives we propose to use the EPIC-pn detector to investigate new pulsarcandidates. The discoveries will fill out the incomplete sample of observedX-ray pulsars, as well as confirm the utility of our method for selecting pulsarcandidates from existing archived data.

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.
