Scientific paper

We propose a series of three 30-ksec Chandra ToO observations of the neutron star quasi-persistent X-ray binary HETE J1900.1-2455 once it returns to quiescence. Currently, the source undergoes an extended episode of accretion that started about 3.5 years ago. HETE J1900.1-2455 is the only quasi-persistent neutron star binary currently in outburst from which X-ray pulsations have been detected and that has a high inferred magnetic field. Studying the cooling of the accretion-heated neutron star once HETE J1900.1-2455 returns to quiescence provides an unique opportunity to investigate a variety of processes occurring under extreme density and pressure conditions. In particular, it allows us to test the possible effects of a high magnetic field on the thermal evolution of the neutron star.
