Scientific paper

We propose to observe the transient dipping LMXB system A1744-361 during an outburst with Chandra HETGS, and contemporaneously with RXTE PCA. This will be the first observation of A1744-361 with a high resolution spectral instrument, and will facilitate; (1) sigficant detection of narrow spectral lines for the first time from A1744-361, (2) detection and line profile measurement of its broad iron emisson line, (3) unambiguous determination of source orbital period, (4) unambiguous determination of source position, (5) sigficant detection of kHz QPOs, and (6) understanding of the ionized plasma in the immediate environs of A1744-361, and dippers in general. These science goals rely on the unique qualities of Chandra (e.g., high spectral and angular resolution) and RXTE.
