Scientific paper

An XMM observation of the shell-like Galactic radio source G24.3+0.0 has revealed a bright, 113-second X-ray pulsar coincident with a highly reddened star with R-K>15. The object has a K-magnitude of 6.55, and is also detected in the MSX survey at 20μ Jy. The X-ray source has an absorbing column density of nearly 1023cm-2 and is highly variable. We explore models for this source and discuss its relationship to a number of other recently discovered pulsars which show similar highly absorbed and luminous companions.
This work is supported in part under a grant from the NASA XMM Guest Observer Program.
