Scientific paper

We propose to observe four neutron star (NS) soft X-ray transients in outburst to obtain accurate source positions, continuing an ongoing successful program we initiated in Cycle 6. This continuing study will allow for the reobservation of such sources in future cycles to study the quiescent X-ray emission in NS SXTs. Recent results from Chandra and XMM suggest that the standard picture of NS SXT emission may not be as straightforward as previously thought. This proposal will increase the number of known SXTs with good positions, providing a more uniform sample of the population for future work.
