Scientific paper

This unusual x-ray transient was seen once in outburst with RXTE in 1997. It has the spectrum typical of an x-ray pulsar, making it likely to be a Be/NS binary, and therefore to have significant quiescent emission. Its outburst luminosity was near the highest ever seen from one of these systems. We propose a series of two Chandra pointings to find its precise location (for counterpart identification), luminosity, quiescent spectrum, and pulse period. If it is not seen by Chandra, or has a flux much lower than predicted, then it would be the only known transient with an x-ray pulsar spectrum and a very high outburst/quiescence ratio (the latter being typical of soft x-ray transients).
