Scientific paper

We propose to image an area of 6x1 degrees centered on the Galactic Center at |b|=1.5 degrees. Here, we propose to obtain ~25% of this as part of SRON's GTO program. These regions have been selected because of their lower extinction and crowding in the optical and near-infrared than in the Galactic Center area, while still having a high density of X-ray sources. We will detect a plethora of faint X-ray sources that will constrain binary evolution models by way of a number count and by identifying predicted X-ray binary types that so far have eluded identification. Source identifications will be boosted by our obtained optical data. We expect to find (quiescent) eclipsing neutron star and black hole LMXBs. These are important for neutron star and black hole mass measurements.
