Scientific paper

The recently discovered 5.5s pulsar XTE J1810-197 is the first confirmed Transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (TAXP), likely a magnetar with a huge magnetic field of 3E14 G. XTE J1810-197 is currently in outburst but fading with a 300 day e-fold time. Archival data spanning 24 yrs indicate that this is a short-lived active state, which implies the existence of a vast population of unexplored young NSs. From its lack of pulsations and softer spectrum in quiescence, XTE J1810-197 may also hold the key to unify the magnetar model for SGRs, AXPs, and central compact objects in SNRs. We propose to continue our semi-annual XMM monitoring campaign of XTE J1810-197 to follow its flux, spin, and spectral evolution, to capture for the first time a complete cycle of a TAXP from quiescence, to outburst, and back.
