Scientific paper

We propose to observe the next (quasi-)persistent neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary that turns off and becomes quiescent. This will provide an excellent opportunity to study the effects of prolonged accretion on the neutron-star properties (i.e., crust and core) and the quiescent properties of low-mass X-ray binaries. Two follow-up observations taken several months later will provide important information about the time evolution of the quiescent properties. In particular, if indeed the quiescent X-rays are emitted by the crust, we will be able to study its evolution in time, thus setting strong constraints on the crust cooling models and the exact structure of the crust.
