Scientific paper

We propose to make snap-shot observations of new X-ray sources detected only during type I bursts, with persistent X-ray luminosities <10^36 erg/s. We expect to detect the systems easily, and will obtain accurate positions for optical/infrared followup and estimates of the luminosity level. We thus can study that part of the population of low-mass X-ray binaries which has persistent X-ray luminosities below 10^36 erg/s, and test theory of thermonuclear bursts in the low accretion regime.
