4U2129+47 is one of the three original `Accretion Disk Corona' sources. The partial X-ray eclipses in these near edge-on systems imply that the X-ray emission must extend over radii a substantial fraction of the binary separation, possibly related to an outflow, as in models of `Adiabatic Inflow/Outflow' accretion. Since 1983 4U2129+47 has been in a protracted quiescent state. Two models exist for this state: `Advection Dominated Accretion' or thermal emission from the cooling surface of the neutron star. The latter would imply a sharp, total eclipse in the lightcurve. We propose a 38 ksec (two binary orbits) Chandra observation of 4U2129+47 which will test thermal emission models of the quiescent spectrum and determine whether any eclipse in the observed lightcurve is total or partial.
