Title Probing the Binary Evolution of the Transition.. Object PSR J1023+0038
DOI https://doi.org/10.5270/esa-pig4px5
Abstract The binary radio millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038 appears to be a long sought-after ..missing link. between low-mass X-ray binaries and rotation-poweredmillisecond pulsars. We propose a deep spectroscopic and timing study of thissystem to look for any signature of recent accretion in this system in thepulsed thermal emission from the neutron star. This may offer unique insightinto the little understood transition mechanism of millisecond pulsars fromaccretion power to rotation power.

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.
