Description After 3 years of all-sky scanning, Fermi has discovered dozens of new g-ray only
pulsars. Such a discovery has far reaching implications for our overall
understanding of pulsar physics. We propose a joint XMM-Chandra observation of
J1813-1246, one of the most energetic g-ray selected pulsar. J1813 rotates as
fast as the Crab and its Erot is similar to that of Vela, thus we expect the
pulsar to be embedded in a bright PWN. Among RQ pulsars, J1813 shows the highest
X-ray flux but no deep X-ray observations have ever been performed on this
target. Exploiting both XMM and Chandra capabilities we ll be able to (i)
discriminate J1813 from its pulsar wind nebula (ii) study its X-ray timing
behaviour (iii) obtain accurate phase-averaged and phase-resolved spectra (iv) constrain the source distance.

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.
