Scientific paper

The spectrum of the X-ray binary pulsars is usually described by a power-law model, but several sources exhibit a significant excess at low energies. This feature has been described with different models (both thermal and non-thermal), and various physical processes have been invoked to produce it. The study of this feature is essential in order to cast light on the on-going physical processes in accreting sources, hence it is necessary to obtain spectral data of high quality for these pulsars. One of the most interesting target is XTE J0111-7317, a Be transient pulsar in the SMC. After the ASCA observation performed in 1998, which first detected a soft component, no other soft X-ray data were collected. For this reason now we would observe this source with XMM-Newton.
