Scientific paper

The Fermi Large Area Telescope has been very successful at discovering gamma-ray pulsars in blind searches. As we extend the search to dimmer pulsars, the increasing source location uncertainty makes discovery more challenging. We propose to observe a selected set of 8 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 the LAT with high significance and are likely nearby gamma-ray pulsars. The proposed observations are for 10 ks per source, covering the Fermi LAT source error region in a single pointing. We will determine the X-ray position, flux, and spectral properties in the 0.2-10 keV energy band for any sources detected by XMM-Newton within this region.
