Scientific paper

Three new transient millisecond X-ray pulsars (TMXPs) have been discovered recently. Together with SAX J1808.4-3658 these transients show peculiar characteristics (beyond pulsations, e.g. orbital periods of ~40 min) which likely indicate that they form a separate sub-class in between transient neutron star systems. Also in quiescence SAX J1808.4-3658 is peculiar, showing a lower luminosity and the lack of a soft component. These observational facts likely indicate the presence of a massive (>1.7 solar masses) neutron star, confirming the recycling connection between LMXRBs and MSPs. Here we propose to observe the new three TMXPs in quiescence to unveil their properties and to identify similarities and differences with SAX J1808.4-3658.
