Scientific paper

We report on the XMM-Newton observations of SAX J0635+0533, the fastest pulsar in a Be/NS binary system (Pspin = 33.8 ms). The precise localization provided by these observations confirms the association of SAX J0635+0533 with a Be star. The source was found, for the first time, in a low intensity state, a factor ~30 lower than that seen in all previous observations. In view of this small luminosity, we reconsider the peculiarities of this source in both the accretion and rotation powered scenarios.
