Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a 1 ksec exposure of up to 4 newly found unclassified INTEGRAL sources which are weak persistent X-ray binaries (we exclude from this proposal bright new transients discovered by INTEGRAL). 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.
