Description PSR J2021+4026 is the second brightest radio-quiet gamma-ray pulsar which is
suggested to be the long-sought compact object associated with the supernova
remnant gamma-Cygni. Its radio-quietness and its multiwavelength properties
suggest its nature to be similar to a well-known pulsar: Geminga. In order to
tightly constrain the nature of its X-ray counterpart, we propose a deep
XMM-Newton observation with an aim to search for its X-ray pulsations and
perform a detailed spectro-imaging analysis.

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.
