Abstract	The X-ray and radio morphology of IGR J11014-6103 strongly suggest that it is anenergetic pulsar/PWN moving away from the center of the SNR MSH 11-61A at anextraordinarily large velocity of >2,400 km/s. Using XMM-Newton, we recentlydiscovered 62.8 ms pulsations from IGR J11014-6103. Now, we need to measure thespin-down rate of PSR J1101-6101 in order to determine its spin-down power andspin-down age. The spin-down power is needed to understand the structure of itsapparent bow-shock nebula and mysterious X-ray streak. The spin-down age is anupper limit on its true age, and will establish whether PSR J1101-6101 couldhave originated in MSH 11-61A, which would make it the pulsar with the largestknown natal kick velocity.

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.
