dc.descriptionThe discovery of deep spectral features in the X-ray spectrum of 1E1207.4-5209 has pushed this Isolated Neutron Star (INS) out of the chorus line, since no other INS has shown significant features in its X-ray continuum. On August 2002, XMM-Newton devoted a two-orbit TOO observation to this target with the aim to better understand the nature of such spectral features, using much improved statistics. Indeed, the 260 ksec observation yielded 360,000 photons from 1E1207.4-5209, allowing for a very sensitive study of the temporal and spectral behaviour of this object.
