| Description | Magnetars are neutron stars mainly powered by their huge magnetic fields. They go through long stretches of quiescence, interrupted by periods of activity, via short X-ray bursts, large giant flares and yearly-timescale X-ray outbursts. Lately several normal pulsars showed magnetar-like emission, and FRB-like events were observed during a short X-ray burst, prompting important questions on the exact physics and reach of the magnetar phenomenon. We propose a Joint XMM (110ks) and NRAO/GRB (14hr) ToO program aimed at gather new physical insights on magnetars surface, field configuration and magnetosphere; search for radio pulsed emission and for (quasi-)simultaneous X-ray and radio bursts. We might trigger this program on any source that will undergo a magnetar-like outburst during AO21. |

| 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. |
