With the discovery of Fe XXV and Fe XXVI lines in several binaries viewed close to the disk plane, XMM and Chandra have revealed the existence of a highly-ionized atmosphere above the accretion disk. We have further demonstrated that the spectral changes during dips from dipping LMXBs, both in the lines and in the continuum could be explained by a decrease in the ionization level of this plasma. We want to investigate the presence of such a highly ionized plasma in four other binaries viewed close to the disk plane should these currently quiet transient sources turn on. We wish to constrain the plasma properties (location in binary, stationary or outflow) as a function of binary parameters (inclination, period) and luminosity.
