Scientific paper

According to the recycling scenario MsXPs are the progenitors of radio ms pulsars.The recent discovery of the 5.5ms pulsar in the X-ray transient SWIFT J1756.9-2508(ATEL #1108)brought to 8 the number of sources of this class.Timing techniques applied to high temporal resolution data allows the direct measurement of the rotational behavior of the compact object under the effect of accretion,leading to an unique opportunity to answer to the long lasting dispute about accretion models for fast rotators(Burderi 2006,ApJL,653,133;Burderi 2007,ApJ,657,961(BD);Papitto 2007,MNRAS,375,971).However timing analysis is able to produce reliable results only when an accurate position of the source is known(BD).The excellent Chandra spatial resolution will provide an unique accuracy on this key parameter(Krauss 2005,ApJ,627,910(KR))to further investigate the rotational behavior of these objects.Chandra will also give us the possibility to study a high energy resolution spectrum of this source.
