Three new X-ray pulsars have been detected in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and the positions of two others have been determined, with archive Chandra data. A series of five observations of the SMC took place between May and October 2002. Analysis of these data has revealed three previously unknown X-ray pulsars at pulse periods of 34, 503 and 138 seconds. The position of pulsar XTE J0052-725, which was originally detected by RXTE on June 19 2002, was also accurately determined and a previously detected 7.78s RXTE pulsar was identified as the source SMC X-3.
