Description PSR B1259-63 is a unique binary system with a radio pulsar from which unpulsed
X-ray and radio emission was observed. The pulsar is in a highly eccentric 3.4
year orbit with a Be star. The collision of the pulsar wind with the wind of Be
star plays a crucial role in the generation of the observed emission. The goal
of this proposal is to investigate the changes of the system emission as the
pulsar approaches to the Be star disk, and with the help of the received data to
reconstruct the physical processes governing the system.

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.
