Scientific paper

We have just discovered 105 ms X-ray pulsations from the Compact Central Object (CCO) in the supernova remnant Kes 79, one of six enigmatic X-ray emitters whose nature is a great mystery. We propose to measure the all-important period derivative in order to characterize the energetics of the pulsar and test whether it is powered by rotation, accretion, or a more exotic process. We will compare the timing properties of this pulsar with 1E 1207.4-5209, the only other CCO pulsar, whose strange spin-down irregularity suggests that it might not be an isolated NS. The relationship between ordinary pulsars, CCOs, and AXPs, may be greatly illuminated by timing measurements of this new pulsar.
