Scientific paper

We request deep observations of 2 representative fields in the Small Magellanic Cloud with Chandra and HST,with the primary goal of measuring the luminosity function and space density of X-ray binaries and other sources down to an unprecedented faint luminosity limit of 2x10E32 erg/s. This will be the faintest XLF ever obtained for any galaxy, including our own. HST photometry to 24th magnitude in V and I filters will identify the sources and provide Fx/Fopt, which will be vital in quantifying the LMXB population and in measuring the properties of the first coronally active stars ever detected in an external galaxy.
