Scientific paper

After 5 months of all-sky scanning, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) has discovered 15 new gamma-ray pulsars using a blind search algorithm. The discovery of a population of radio-quiet (or at least radio-faint), bright gamma-ray pulsars has deep implications for gamma-ray source population studies, as well as for our overall understanding of pulsar physics. We propose a multiwavelength project within the frame of Chandra/NOAO joint observations, aimed at identifying the X-ray counterpart of one of the most exciting members of the newly discovered pulsar sample: a bright gamma-ray pulsar with timing properties pointing to an old neutron star with a very low rotational energy loss. Possibly very close to us, such pulsar is a factor 10 less energetic and significantly older than Geminga
