Abstract	The composite-type radio and X-ray supernova remnant MSH 11-62 contains a brightinner nebula with a Chandra resolved non-thermal X-ray source at its center. Thenebula is coincident with a Fermi gamma-ray source. Together, the radio, X-ray,and gamma-ray properties of this system lead to only one possible conclusion: ayoung (<20 kyr), highly energetic (>4E36 erg/s) pulsar powering a substantialwind nebula associated with the supernova remnant. An XMM-Newton observationwould have an excellent chance of detecting the expected pulsations, criticalfor determining the energetics of the system, searching for gamma-raypulsations, and modeling the interaction between the wind nebula and the thermalremnant.

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.
