abstract = "We present the discovery of X-ray eclipses with XMM-Newton from the transient source CXOGC J174540.0-290031 located at the Galactic Center at only 2.9″ (0.1 pc) South of the position of Sgr A*. In summer 2004, sharp and deep eclipses have been observed with a period of 27,961±5 s and a duration of 1,100±100 s, while no eclipses were present in Spring 2004. In the framework of semi-detached binary systems, we estimate the mass of secondary star to less than 1.0 M⊙ and the mass of the compact object to less than 60 M⊙.",
