Scientific paper

On September 2006 an intense (10^39 ergs) and short (20ms) burst was detected by Swift from the candidate Anomalous X-ray Pulsar CXOU J164710.2-455216. A Swift observations carried out 13 hours later found that the AXP entered in a rare outburst phase and measured a flux level 300 times brighter then that in quiescence. Subsequent Swift, Chandra, XMM and SUZAKU follow-up observations monitored the initial phases of the source outburst allowing to infer very important information for this source. Both the spectral and timing properties of CXOU J164710.2-455216 drastically changed and are still evolving after one year. The present proposal is aimed at following the evolution of the main spectral/timing parameters of the second confirmed bursting transient AXP.
