Abstract	On 2006 September 21 an intense (10^39 ergs) and short (20ms) burst was detectedby Swift from the candidate Anomalous X-ray Pulsar CXOU J164710.2-455216, whilea fast-response Swift observation detected a flux enhancement larger than afactor of 300 with respect to the quiescent level. Subsequent Swift, Chandra,XMM and SUZAKU follow-up observations allowed, for the first time, to monitor amagnetar outburst since the very beginning. Both the spectral and timingproperties of CXOU J164710.2-455216 drastically changed on short- and long-termtimescales and are still evolving after two years. The present proposal is aimedat continuing the XMM monitoring of this source and studying the evolution ofthe main spectral/timing parameters as it approaches its quiescent flux.

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.
