Scientific paper

We report the detection of a point source designated XMMU J005527.6-721059 in an archival XMM-Newton observation in the direction of the SMC from March 2002. The position (see table below) is consistent with the Chandra source CXOU J005527.9-721058 that has been proposed as a Be/X-ray binary pulsar (Edge et al. 2004, ATEL #217; Edge et al. 2004, MNRAS 353,1286) with a pulse period of (34.08 +- 0.03) s (98.5% confidence).
