Scientific paper

We propose to observe the quasi-persistent neutron-star low-mass X-ray transients KS 1731-260 and MXB 1659-29 once in their quiescent state during cycle 6 of Chandra. These observations will strongly constrain the time evolution behavior of the quiescent properties of these systems. In the context of the cooling neutron-star model for the quiescent emission in neutron star X-ray transients, our proposed observations will follow the cooling curves of the crust and core of the neutron stars in those systems. Our previous quiescent observations of both systems have already shown that their neutron stars cooled down rapidly, setting stringent constraints on the structure of the compact objects.
