Scientific paper

PSR J1723-28 may represent the second known case (after PSR J1023; Archibald et al. 2009) of a just-formed ``baby'' millisecond pulsar. That provides unprecedented possibilities for investigating the last stages of the so-called ``recycling process'' and the related activation of a millisecond pulsar. In the framework of a large multi-wavelength campaign, we request here a 55 ks exposure (thus sampling a full orbit of PSR J1723) in order to: (i) firmly establishing the X-ray counterpart to the binary; (ii) investigating the nature of the X-ray emission; (iii) constraining the distribution of plasma in the system and the geometry of the X-ray emission, thanks to the comparison of the variability simultaneously observed in the X-ray emission and in the pulsed radio emission.
