Scientific paper

We propose short (1 ksec) observations with the HRC-I of a selection of faint persistent X-ray sources in the Galactic Bulge for which very little is know. These sources are detected in the PCA/RXTE bulge scan project at luminosities below 10^36 erg/sec and are most likely HMXB or LMXB; they are either Be/X-ray binaries, and hence candidates to show slow X-ray pulsations, or they are ultra-compact binaries in which the compact object is accreting from a degenarate donor and in which case they are candidates to show gravitational waves. The HRC observations will allow us to search for slow pulsations as well give for the first time an accurate position that will allow for optical/IR follow-up studies to determine the binary parameters.
