Abstract The binary radio pulsar J0737-3039 is a truly unique system offering theenormous diagnostics of two radio pulsars in a short orbital period system. Theproperties of these two neutron stars are being constrained with unprecedentedprecision. In particular, this system is a unique laboratory for the study ofthe pulsar magnetospheres and the interaction between the pulsars relativisticwinds. High-energy observations are necessary to give a complete picture of theprocesses. The low X-ray luminosity requires a very long exposure time, but theadded value of the detailed modeling of these pulsars through observation atother wavelengths, makes this a worth investment. No other X-ray observatory ofthe current generation will be able to yield better information.

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.
