Scientific paper

The Geminga pulsar is unique among gamma-ray pulsars in having a precise and continuous, phase-connected ephemeris from 1973 up to the present. Since the demise of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory in June 2000, the only practical method of maintaining Geminga's ephemeris has been with X-ray observations. Our continuing XMM ephemeris has made possible several ground-based searches for pulsations, from radio to very high energy gamma-rays. This is the final request for our XMM program on Geminga in order to make a precise phase connection with GLAST, which will be launched in 2008 and will continue the ephemeris thereafter. (We thought that this program would be finished in AO6 but the launch of GLAST was delayed, necessitating this additional proposal.)
