Chandra Proposal Id #06400892

Scientific paper

We propose to observe four neutron star (NS) soft X-ray transients (SXT) in outburst to obtain accurate source positions. This study will allow us to reobserve these sources in future cycles to study the quiescent X-ray emission in NS SXTs. New results from Chandra and XMM suggest that the standard picture of NS SXT emission may not be as straightforward as previously thought. This proposal will increase the number of known NS SXTs with good positions, providing a more uniform sample of the population for future work.
