Scientific paper

We propose a follow-up XMM observation of the young, high-magnetic-field radio pulsar PSR J1119-6127. A previous XMM observation revealed X-ray pulsations with unusual properties: a thermal spectrum with high temperature, narrow pulse profile and high pulsed fraction. These characteristics, together with the lack of pulsations at high energies, are unlike those of most other radio pulsars detected at X-ray energies; the requested observation is required to confirm them with high confidence. The fact that such emission is present in one of the youngest radio pulsars which also has a magnetic field close to those of magnetars is intriguing, and likely signals phenomena important to our physical understanding of high-magnetic-field neutron stars.
