Abstract This XMM program is aimed at continuing the monitoring the fading phases of theAnomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP), XTE J1810-197. The transient behaviour of thissource, unique amongst AXPs, will make it possible to study its properties overan unprecedented range of flux levels and energies. This source might thusrepresent a Rosetta stone.. for our understanding of the nature and emissionmechanism of AXPs, and of a unified scheme for isolated neutron stars (NSs)encompassing apparently dissimilar classes, such as radio pulsars, dim NSs andcentral compact objects (CCOs) in supernova remnants.

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.
