Abstract	We propose XMM-Newton EPIC pn observations of three rapidly rotating neutronstars\: PSR J0952-0607, PSR J1810+1744, and PSR J2241-5236, for 50, 80 and 50 ksrespectively. Through these observations, we will for the first time establishthe detailed X-ray spectral properties of these pulsars. This will allow us toput stringent constraints on the surface emission of these pulsars, which wewill use to limit r-mode oscillations in these sources. Such constraints areimportant to learn about the interior composition of these sources as well as togauge the prospects of continuous gravitational wave astronomy. PSR J1810+1744is scheduled for observation with XMM-Newton on 10/16/2017 and can bedisregarded in the present proposal if this observation is successfully performed.

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.
