Scientific paper

We propose three 30 ksec Chandra ACIS-S observations (and three near-simultaneous HST ACS orbits) to study the unique highly variable supersoft source 1E1339.8+2837 in the globular cluster M3, measuring its spectrum, X-ray and optical variability over timescales from minutes to a year. These observations will be critical for understanding the accretion flow onto this supersoft source. We also will perform a deep study of the populations of cataclysmic variables, active binaries, and millisecond pulsars expected in M3, increasing our understanding of how globular cluster parameters influence the formation, destruction, and attributes of binary systems.
