Scientific paper
We propose 35 ksec observations during the outbursts of very-faint X-ray transients, which are newly identified enigmatic transients which are underluminous by orders of magnitude compared to the well known bright transients. The nature of these objects is not clear but they likely harbor transiently accreting compact objects (although some might be transient magnetars or a type as yet unidentified). Our proposed observations will allow us to study in detail the X-ray spectra of these sources as well as perform detailed timing studies (e.g., to search for pulsations, dips/eclipses, bursts) with which we can significantly improve our understanding of these systems.
