Scientific paper

We propose to continue our survey, begun in Cycle 1, of the group of persistently faint galactic X-ray sources outside globular clusters which are thought to be LMXBs, but about which very little was known before Chandra. Our exploratory Cycle 1 work confirmed the low Lx of these objects, and produced some intriguing new results which we will follow up with observations approved in Cycle 3. Given theoretical as well as empirical arguments for the detection of spectral lines, in Cycle 4 we propose follow-up ACIS-S CC observations for 2 sources, and 1 deep imaging observation. Our aim is to extend knowledge about compact-object accretion physics towards lower accretion levels than previously accessible and to provide a sample against which to compare the faint globular-cluster LMXBs.
