Scientific paper

We propose observations of three pulsars with magnetic fields comparable to the fields of the anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs). Because their spin-down parameters are very similar to those of the AXPs, we might expect them to have similar X-ray properties. We have in fact analyzed a Chandra observation with one of these pulsars serendipitously in the field and detect X-ray emission from the pulsar with high significance. This emission seems to be thermal in nature, with a blackbody temperature far above that measured for any radio pulsar. The proposed observations will place much tighter constraints on the X-ray emission from these pulsars. These observations will show whether these pulsars are the long-sought-after "missing link" between the radio pulsars and the magnetars.
