The  European Space  Astronomy  Centre (ESAC)  of  the European  Space
Agency (ESA) is organising the XMM-Newton Science workshop

                       The Fast and the Furious:
             Energetic Phenomena in Isolated Neutron Stars,
               Pulsar Wind Nebulae and Supernova Remnants

                          22nd - 24th May 2013

         European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), Madrid, Spain

                    - AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE MEETING -

High-energy observations  have strongly  changed our view of isolated
neutron stars, showing that these objects appear in a large variety of
different  classes and  can  exhibit substantial variability on  time
scales from milliseconds to years. Changes in flux and morphology have
also been observed in the nebulae powered by the relativistic winds of
energetic  pulsars.   Great  advances   have  also  been obtained  in
high-energy  observations  of   non-thermal  emission from  supernova
remnants.

The study of  these objects in the last few  years has taken advantage
of a  multiwavelength approach, thanks to the  combination of powerful
X-ray satellites, such as  XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift and Suzaku, with
facilities operating  in the gamma-ray range  (INTEGRAL, Agile, Fermi)
and  up to  the highest  energies  covered by  ground based  Cherenkov
telescopes (HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS).

The purpose  of this  Science Workshop is  to discuss our most recent
results  on the  high-energy phenomena  occurring in isolated neutron
stars and related objects like pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnants
and gamma-ray binaries.
