Abstract

This program is aimed at obtaining a phase coherent time solution for the period evolution of XTEJ1810-197 (XTE),and concluding the successful X-ray monitoring of this unique Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP),the first identified transient AXP,a neutron star (NS) whose emission is due to the decay of an extremely high magnetic field (10e15 G).Its transient behavior,outburst flux increase ~100,allowed us to monitor its time properties for 6 years.The source was found to be a bright and highly polarized transient radio pulsar.Important new informations on AXP have been gathered from simultaneous X-ray and radio band observations.The pointings we request are aimed at checking for the presence of precession of its rotation axis.XTE could be the unique precessing AXP(there are only 3 precessing NS)
