Scientific paper

The theoretical predictions for the number of detectable INSs in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (10^3-10^4) dwarfs the number known, which is seven. Source confusion in the ROSAT/PSPC error circles has made identification difficult. We have developed and applied a statistical technique which quantitatively identifies which X-ray sources have no likely counterparts. We propose short observations for our best set of RASS Bright-Source Catalog X-ray sources with no likely counterparts, to obtain sub-arcsec positions, so that we may identify them optically, or discover new INSs, or perhaps find a new class of high Lx/Lopt sources.
