Abstract The properties of neutron star magnetospheres and relativistic winds down tolight cylinder scale can be constrained with unprecedented precision bymultiwavelength observations of suitable double neutron star binaries (DNSBs).PSR J1537+1155 and PSR J0737 3039 are the only firmly identified DNSBs detectedwith the current generation of X-ray telescopes. Because of its higher orbitaleccentricity, J1537+1155 offers a unique opportunity for the identification andstudy of NSs interaction signatures, such as flux orbital modulation. Thepresence of detectable X-ray emission from this system is guaranteed by Chandraobservations, but the crucial claims about orbital variability can be confirmedand better investigated only by XMM-Newton.

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.
