| Description | A significant fraction of young neutron stars can experience a strong fall-back episode after a supernova explosion. The accreted matter screens the magnetic field which slowly diffuses out on a time scale of tens of thousand years which is much shorter than the cooling timescale. However, no young radio pulsars with re-emerged magnetic field have been identified yet. The main goal of this proposal is to detect for the first time the thermal emission from selected old (spin- down age more than 1 Myear) radio pulsars which allows us to confirm the field re-emergence scenario. |

| 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. |
