Scientific paper

From August 1996 untill the switch off on April 30, 2002, the Wide Field Cameras on the Italian-Dutch BeppoSAX satellite carried out twelve campaigns on the Galactic center region, with a total exposure time of over 6 Msec and covering half the low-mass X-ray binary population in our galaxy. These observations, as well as others with WFC, resulted in the discovery of 19 new faint transient X-ray binaries, the discovery of superbursts, and the detection of type-I bursts with very low persistent flux levels. Many of the new discoveries were followed up with the Narrow Field Instruments on BeppoSAX, and some with Chandra and XMM-Newton. We briefly review the results of this succesful program, emphasizing recent findings.
