Scientific paper

The proposed DDT observations have three goals: 1) As this transient decays, its magnetic field should become dynamically important. We will compare the shape of the lightcurve and the spectral information with that of a NS SXT for which no pulsations have been found. The strength of the magnetic field is an important unknown quantity for evolutionary link between LMXBs and msec radio pulsars. 2) A comparison of the evolution of the SED of this NS SXT with similar data on black hole (BH) SXTs will constrain the differences in jet power between NSs and BHs. 3) A comparison of the spectrum and the luminosity of the source in quiescence immediately after the outburst with that during an observation in AO7 would allow us to assess the neutron star cooling after an outburst. Those findings can be compared with those of the transients XTE J1709-267 and MXB 1658-29 (Jonker et al. 2003/4; Wijnands et al. 2004).
