Scientific paper

We propose to study the quiescent X-ray counterparts of bright neutron star X-ray transients in several Galactic globular clusters. The relatively well-known distances to those clusters make them excellent targets to study the properties of their quiescent neutron star systems. Previous Chandra observations of the clusters caught the transient systems in outburst, providing sub-arcsecond positions for those transients and allowing immediate X-ray identification of their quiescence counterparts. We will also obtain excellent data on the low-luminosity X-ray source population of the target globular clusters which we will use in our ongoing efforts to determine the nature of these sources.
