Abstract

In this paper we present some preliminary result on the spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray pulsed emission from the 16 ms pulsar PSR J0537-6910 in the energy range 0.1--30 keV, based on archival BeppoSAX and RossiXTE observations. This pulsar, discovered by Marshall et al.(1998) in the LMC field with RXTE, is the fastest spinning pulsar associated with a supernova remnant. It is characterized by strong glitch activity with the highest rate of all known Crab-like system.
