Scientific paper

We propose to continue our successful program on the quiescent X-ray counterparts of known bright neutron-star X-ray transients in Galactic globular clusters. The relatively well-known distances to those clusters make them excellent targets to study the properties of their quiescent neutron-star systems. Previous Chandra and ROSAT/HRI observations of the clusters caught the transient systems in outburst, providing (sub-)arcsecond positions for those transients and allowing immediate X-ray identification of their quiescence counterparts. We will also obtain excellent data on the low-luminosity X-ray source population of the target globular clusters which we will use in our ongoing efforts to determine the nature of these sources.
