Scientific paper

We propose to continue our survey, begun in Cycle 1, of the group of persistently faint galactic X-ray sources outside globular clusters which are thought to be LMXBs, but about which very little was known before Chandra. Our exploratory Cycle 1 work confirmed the low Lx of these objects, and produced some intriguing new results. Given theoretical as well as empirical arguments for the detection of spectral lines, in Cycle 3 we propose HETG follow-up observations for 4 sources, and further exploratory ACIS pointings for 4 others. Our aim is to extend knowledge about compact-object accretion physics towards lower accretion levels than previously accessible and to provide a sample against which to compare the faint globular-cluster LMXBs.
