Scientific paper

A number of high-energy (up to hundreds of keV) sources are already believed to be powered by the dissipation of an exceptionally high magnetic field (>10(15) ,G), and are collectively termed magnetars. All currently known magnetars are isolated; however, it was recently suggested that magnetars could also be hosted in young high mass X-ray binaries (HMXB). If the presence of magnetars in HMXBs is confirmed, then these sources might yield new crucial information onto the formation and evolution of these peculiar objects. While a number of well known candidates are already under inspection, we propose here to carry out a 20 ks XMM-Newton observations of the two newly promising sources IGR J17354-3255, and IGR J16328-4726.
