Scientific paper

This program is aimed at obtaining a phase coherent time solution for the period evolution of XTE J1810-197, and concluding the successful XMM monitoring of this unique Anomalous X--ray Pulsar (AXP).This source was identified as the first transient AXP in 2003.The transient X--ray behavior of this source (outburst flux increase of a factor 100) allowed us to monitor his time properties for a long time (5 yrs 9 obs.).In 2006 this source was also found to be a bright and highly polarized transient radio pulsar, a unique property among both AXPs and radio pulsars (RPs).The last pointings we requested are aimed at studying his time evolution, and checking the presence of a precession.This could be the unique Magnetar and one of the very few (3) neutron stars showing a precession period.
