Scientific paper

Non-accreting binary systems containing a spin-powered pulsar and a Be-star provide us with unique opportunities to investigate the interaction between the pulsar and the stellar wind. We propose to monitor the binary system PSR B1259-63 with its companion Be-star SS 2883 during its periastron passage in summer 2007. This XMM-Newton data will enable us to examine the shocked emission in a window around periastron in detail and to monitor how the spectral behavior and the flux evolves when PSR B1259-63 passes through periastron. This observations, which require only a modest amount of observing time, together with archival data taken by ASCA and XMM at other orbital angles will finally constrain the geometry of the Be-star disk.
