Scientific paper

RX J0806.3+1527 is a likely double degenerate binary with the shortest known orbital period (321 s). Past observations with ROSAT and Chandra have been to sparse to enable any reliable constraints on the orbital evolution, which should be detectable over the course of a year if the system is indeed ultracompact. We propose a phase coherent timing campaign in order to explore the gravitational radiation driven orbital evolution of the system. Our program will enable long term monitoring of the orbital phase and will provide strong constraints on the nature of the binary system and models for the X-ray emission from this and similar sources.
