Scientific paper

We propose two 30-ksec Chandra observations to continue our successful monitoring program of the crust cooling of the quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient EXO 0748-676. This source has recently started the transition to quiescence following an extended period of accretion that lasted more than 24 years. Studying the thermal relaxation of the accretion-heated neutron star provides the unique opportunity to test new theoretical conjectures that deal with the behavior of matter in the extreme density and pressure environment of the neutron star interior.
