| Description | The discovery of three millisecond pulsars (MSPs) swinging between an accretion and rotation powered states has provided evidence for the existence of a peculiar evolutionary phase of binary pulsars. These sources are known as .transitional. MSPs (tMSPs). We have recently identified the source CXOU J110926.4-650224 as a strong tMSP candidate. We propose simultaneous high-time resolution observations of this system using XMM-Newton (20 ks) and the VLT HAWK-I (3.5 hr) to\: (i) search for correlations or anti-correlations between the X-ray and near infrared emissions down to time scales of tens of seconds and (ii) understand the mechanism of mode switching and (iii) whether it operates in all the tMSPs. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's 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 Earth's 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. |
