Scientific paper

Our understanding of Galactic faint X-ray sources is limited. Although many such sources have been detected by the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey, the majority still remain unidentified, particularly due to the poor accuracy in position (1-3 arcmin). The main aim of this proposal is to use XMM-Newton to measure accurate positions for these sources, allowing optical/IR followup to identify them. This will lead to a greater understanding of these sources and allow better tests of binary and Galactic evolution models
