Abstract	X-ray observations of IGR J11014-6103 show that it has a complex morphology witha point source and two components of extended emission. Its properties indicatethat it is very likely to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). Chandra and radioobservations strongly suggest that the compact object is moving away from SNRMSH 11-61A. Based on the evolution of this supernova remnant, an associationwould indicate that IGR J11014-6103 has a transverse velocity of 2,400 to 2,900km/s. The possibility of such a high kick velocity makes the proposed timingstudy important for proving that the compact object is a pulsar, determining itsperiod (P), and measuring dP/dt to determine if the characteristic age isconsistent with the pulsar originating in MSH 11-61A.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
