Chandra Proposal Id #09500023

Scientific paper

We propose a Chandra ACIS-S ToO observation of 10ks of any X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Star (XDINS) and high magnetic field radio pulsar within 30 days from the detection of an increase (of an order of magnitude) of their soft X-ray, optical or radio flux. Radio and X-ray outbursts have been recently discovered from magnetars. This study is aimed at unveiling similarities between the high-B pulsar and XDINS classes with respect to the magnetar class, and consequently to understand their differences despite the common high magnetic fields (greater than the electron critical magnetic field). Through this Chandra observation we will study any timing and spectral variabilities connected with these outbursts.
