Scientific paper

We are proposing a definitive search for cataclysmic variables and low luminosity LMXBs in the prototypical post-core collapse cluster M15. This will provide detailed constraints on the X-ray source population, which could even contain a second LMXB within the central cusp. Previous searches have been restricted to nearby clusters, but those which contain the most favorable environments (mass and compactness) for forming compact binaries are more distant, and these are now within the reach of Chandra. Furthermore, only the high spatial resolution of Chandra allows such a search in the ideal cluster (M15) because of the presence of a bright LMXB in the core.
