W0.2-2.1, Xmm-Newton Proposal 02065901

Scientific paper

We propose to take advantage of the low interstellar absorption in the W0.2-2.1 window (l0.2,b-2.1, NH ~ 4e21 cm-2 to carry out a deep survey of the central parts of the Galaxy. We shall detect faint X-ray bulge sources with Lx above 3e31 erg/s (0.5-2 keV) and shall probe the galactic disk population over the first ~ 4 kpc. This window which is the closest known to the galactic center offers unique prospects for optical identification and follow-up studies at large distances. Among expected bulge sources are cataclysmic variables, X-ray transients in quisecence and progenitors or descendants of the bright low mass X-ray binaries.
