Scientific paper

The collapsed-core globular cluster M30 is a prime target for the study of the formation and evolution of compact binaries in one of the densest environments found in the Galaxy. ROSAT observations have detected X-ray emission from the vicinity of the cluster core, that probably arises from a population of low-Lx, compact binaries, including cataclysmic variables. Only Chandra can resolve this emission into individual sources to study their properties and spatial distribution. Grindlay et al (2001) have detected over 100 faint Chandra sources in the dense cluster 47 Tuc. We propose a deep ACIS-S exposure, to be used with our deep HST imaging of M30, to investigate the expected population of compact binaries in the central half arcmin.
