Scientific paper

We propose to observe the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) 1E 1048.1-5937, 1E 2259+586 and 1RXS J1708-4009 five times each using EPIC over the course of AO3. Our goal is to measure the pulsed fluxes and spectral parameters at multiple epochs with a single imaging instrument, in order to settle, once and for all, the controversial issue of whether AXPS are flux-variable sources. Determining if there is flux variability in AXPs, and whether it is correlated with spectral parameters, pulsed fraction, spin-down rate, and/or bursting activity is central to physically understanding this exotic class of neutron stars, and to constraining the magnetar model.
