Abstract	The Fermi mission unveiled a large population of MSP pulsar in the Galacticfield. A surprising, high fraction of such sources is in very compact binarysystems, the so-called (and poorly understood) Black Widows (BW) and Redbacks(RB). PSR J1311-3430 is one of the most interesting MSPs discovered by Fermi. Itis an extreme BW system with a number of peculiarities that make it a uniquelaboratory in order to study irradiation-driven processes ruling evolution ofMSP systems. In view of the very bright X-ray counterpart, the unique,complementary capabilities of the EPIC cameras will allow to get anunprecedented view of the phenomenology of a Black widow system.

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.
