Physics

Scientific paper

We propose short, 10 ksec Chandra observations of two recently discovered nearby (~1.5 kpc) globular clusters FSR 1767 and FSR 584. We will determine their X-ray source population and confirm their globular cluster nature. As they are the two closest globular clusters to the Sun, their proximity gives us an unprecedented look. If we discover any quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries, they will be some of the very closest known to us, enabling a study of their properties in unrivaled detail, especially because of the known distance and reddening.
