Abstract	We have recently discovered a new gamma-ray loud low-mass X-ray binary, 3FGLJ0427.9-6704. The X-ray and radio properties of this source suggest it is atransitional millisecond pulsar in the accreting state. Uniquely among membersof this class, this source shows optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray eclipses,allowing precise constraints not available for non-eclipsing systems, such asmeasurements of the binary component masses. Here we propose XMM X-ray andoptical observations to better understand the variability in the system anddetermine how similar its properties are to the other transitional millisecondpulsars.

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.
