Scientific paper

We propose a series of Chandra observations on two, newly identified, possibly related, classes of enigmatic X-ray and radio transients. The X-ray ones are underluminous by orders of magnitude vs. the well known bright X-ray transients. The radio ones are bright and with unusual properties. No X-rays are seen from these radio transients, but the limits are weak. The nature of these objects is not clear and they could harbor transiently accreting compact objects, transient magnetars/pulsars, or a type as yet unidentified. We propose to follow-up, using Chandra, several transients in each class, discovered during our approved and proposed X-ray and radio surveys of the Galactic Center. We also request VLA follow-up observations of the X-ray transients to determine their radio properties.
