Scientific paper

We propose a deep observation of 1E 161348-5055, an enigmatic radio-quiet compact source lying close to the center of the young (~2 kyrs) supernova remnant RCW 103. At variance with all others Central Compact Objects (CCOs) in Supernova Remnants (SNRs), which behave like isolated neutron stars, it shows a remarkable flux variability, including a possible ~6 hours periodicity. A long and uninterrupted 100 ksec EPIC observation will conclusively address the phenomenology of 1E 161348-5055, proving it to be a truly unique binary system in a SNR, or some sort of "missing link" between CCOs and other classes of radio-quiet neutron stars such as Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma Repeaters.
