Scientific paper

We propose a 40 ks (30 ks in TE mode followed by 10 ks in CC mode) Chandra-HETGS observation of the LMXB GX 17+2, to facilitate three independent science goals: (1) a determination of the composition and quantity of interstellar dust along the GX 17+2 line-of-sight (LOS) / in its environment, (2) a study of the size and spatial distribution of the dust grains along this LOS via X-ray scattering halo studies, and (3) a quantification of the extent to which CC-mode observations of bright binaries cannot be trusted for absorption column determinations.
