Scientific paper

We propose to perform an {it XMM-Newton} observation of the very faint neutron star low mass X-ray binary 1RXS J171824.2-402934 to investigate the presence of a coherent pulsation in the persistent emission of the source. In case of detection this will be the first ever detected persistent source with pulsed emission from an accreting neutron star. In case of non detection the observation will be a emph{crucial experiment} to select current theories of pulse formation. We will also perform for the first time an aperiodic timing analysis to search for quasi periodic oscillations that if detected, will give us precious information about the physics of the system. A spectral study will be also be performed improving previous Chandra observations.
