Scientific paper

The extreme stellar density and yet relatively large core of the massive globular cluster Terzan 5 make it the ideal target for the study of the formation of compact objects and binaries in dense stellar systems. We propose a deep ACIS-I exposure to study both its known LMXB and bright (eclipsing) MSP and to measure its underlying distribution of LMXBs, CVs and MSPs. When combined with our upcoming HST/NICMOS survey of Ter5 for emission line object identifications, this AXAF observation will set significant constraints on the origin of cluster binaries and neutron stars, the evolutionary links between LMXBs and MSPs, and the cluster gravitational potential.
