| Description | PSR J1627+3219 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) recently discovered by the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). Subsequent analysis of the corresponding Fermi-LAT source resulted in the detection of strong gamma-ray pulsations. Follow-up timing observations reveal that PSR J1627+3219 is in a black-widow binary system, with high spin-down power, and exhibits transitional behaviors. We propose a 30 ks XMM observation, covering two full orbits of the binary system, in order to detect the X-ray counterpart and possible orbital variability/modulation in the X-ray emission from this unique pulsar. |

| 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. |
