Scientific paper

The Geminga pulsar is unique among gamma-ray pulsars in having a precise and continuous, phase-connected ephemeris from 1973 up to the present. Since the demise of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory in June 2000, the only practical method of maintaining Geminga's ephemeris is with X-ray observations. In a continuation of our previous XMM-Newton proposal, we will ask for short observations approximately once per year until 2007, when GLAST will resume the gamma-ray timing of Geminga. The principal scientific need for a phase-connected ephemeris is to provide an absolute phase reference for ground-based observations, and to monitor for glitch activity, as was seen once by EGRET in 1996-1997.
