Scientific paper

The Fermi Large Area Telescope has been very successful at discovering gamma-ray pulsars. As we extend the search to dimmer sources, the larger position uncertainty makes discovery more challenging. We propose to observe a set of 6 LAT-detected high Galactic latitude gamma-ray sources that have pulsar-like gamma-ray spectra but no as-yet identified counterparts in any other waveband. These sources have been detected by LAT with high significance and are likely nearby gamma-ray pulsars. The proposed observations are for 20 ks per source, covering the LAT error region in a single pointing. We will determine the X-ray position, flux, and spectral properties for any sources detected by XMM-Newton within this region. This proposal follows successful XMM programs we proposed in Cycles 8 and 9.
