Abstract	We propose an exploratory EPIC observation of a nearby recycled gamma-ray pulsarrecently detected in the radio. The radio pulsations were found in a follow-upsearch at the location of a bright Fermi source. There are few millisecondpulsars whose spectral properties have been studied both in X-rays andgamma-rays. Those for which a multiwavelength analysis has been done show anintriguing connection between the gamma-ray and X-ray spectra. In a modestexposure we will collect enough counts to test the putative link between the thegamma-ray and X-ray spectra. The results will advance our understanding of theinner workings of the pulsar magnetospheres, including pair cascades, particleacceleration, magnetospheric current distribution, and radiation processes in superstrong magnetic fields.

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.
