Chandra Proposal Id #08400081

Scientific paper

We propose to obtain short exposures of a sample of unclassified sources which are likely weak persistent X-ray binaries. The unique Chandra positional capabilities will allow for an optical follow-up study. Follow-up observations are of paramount importance for the classification of the sources (e.g. as HMXBs/LMXBs, pulsars or in a few rare cases as AXP or DIM). The timing capabilities of the HRC will allow us to search for (slow) pulsations in case the compact object is a neutron star while pile-up which would complicate source localization is no problem.
