Description Recent simultaneous XMM-Newton, GMRT and LOFAR observations of the mode-changing
near-aligned pulsar PSR B0943+10 revealed synchronous switching in the radio and
X-ray emission properties. These findings support radio indications for rapid,
global changes to the conditions in the magnetosphere, and challenge all
proposed pulsar emission theories. PSR B1822-09 is a fascinating orthogonal
pulsar exhibiting similar mode switching in the radio band. We propose to
organize a similar campaign (160 ks) of simultaneous XMM-Newton, GMRT,
Westerbork and Lovell observations to give further insight into magnetospheric
physics.

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.
