Scientific paper

We propose to make XMM-Newton observations of six pulsars detected with the Fermi LAT to increase the number of pulsars for which good X-ray, gamma-ray and radio data exist in order to constrain the mechanism which generates the pulsar high energy emission. For four of the proposed pulsars this will be the first observation in X-rays. We will use both the spectra and phase-folded lightcurves to discriminate between differing models for the high energy emission such as the polar cap, slot gap or outer gap models. XMM-Newton is the only observatory with sufficient collecting area and high enough timing resolution to detect these pulsars and to obtain the spectra and lightcurves, necessary to discriminate between the high energy models.
