Scientific paper

Proposed is an XMM-Newton observation of the eclipsing millisecond pulsar J2051-0827 in a 8.6 ks orbital period binary system with a low-mass companion. Optical observations have shown that this system is another example, in addition to PSR B1957+20, of a ``black widow'' pulsar, whose relativistic pulsar wind ablates the stellar companion and creates an intrabinary shock. Studying the spectrum and light curve of the X-ray emission from the shocked relativistic wind provides an opportunity to elucidate the properties of the wind and understand the nature of this important class of millisecond pulsars.
