Scientific paper

Pulsar inner gaps are believed to be engines that power the pulsar radio emission, but the properties of the inner gaps are still subject to theoretical debate. In order to test the available theories, X-ray observations of subpulse drifting radio pulsars are desirable. We propose a 55 ks exposure of PSR 0834+06 to detect the thermal X-ray emission due to the polar cap heating. Our simulations suggest that the number of counts collected for the EPIC spectra is sufficient to confirm or refute the partially screened inner gap model. This would have a pronounced meaning for understanding the pulsar physics.
