Scientific paper

Our goal is to measure with the HETGS a bright type-I X-ray burst with photospheric radius expansion (PRE), search for signatures of the ashes of nuclear burning and, if succesful, attempt a measurement of the gravitational redshift. The target, 4U 1812-12, is an ultracompact X-ray binary whose bursts are known to be consistently very bright, show strong PRE and are fairly predictable in occurrence. We request a joint RXTE observation to measure the neutron star spin via burst oscillations.
