Scientific paper

In order to test population theories for the X-ray point-source population in the Galactic Bulge, we are conducting a search for candidate dwarf novae and Be stars. Using 3 years of infrared imaging observations with the CTIO 4m and Magellan 6.5m telescopes we have detected several hundred variable stars and transients within about 5 arcmin of SgrA* with image subtraction techniques. Measurement of the dNe rate can potentially test the hypothesis that a large population of CVs lies in the GC. Furthermore association of X-ray emission with IR transients and large amplitude variables provides positive identification for individual systems. This approach goes some way to circumventing the crowding problem.
