Scientific paper

We propose the first spectroscopic study of the unique X-ray pulsar RXJ0806.3+1527. The currently known optical and X-ray characteristics of this source are consistent both with a highly peculiar magnetic white dwarf in a cataclysmic variable (CV), and an isolated accreting neutron star candidate, one of the brightest discovered by ROSAT. This Chandra proposal represents the first spectroscopic study of RXJ0806.3+1527 (in the X-ray band) and, together with the requested spectroscopical Very Large Telescope (VLT) and photometric Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) data (approved proposals) is expected to provide important insights on the nature of RXJ0806.3+1527. A total exposure time of 20ks is requested with ACIS-S
