SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 400087
Title: BRIGHT LMXB GLOBULAR CLUSTER SURVEY: NATURE, MASSES AND CLUSTER DYNAMICS
Observer: Edmonds
Subject Category: BH and NS Binaries
Seq: 400087 ObsId: 00720
Long-term Plan bin: 6-Mar-2000
ABSTRACT
We propose to survey the 7 remaining bright LMXBs (using HRC) and 1 quiescent NS-LMXB transient (using ACIS-I) in globular clusters for which accurate positions are not available. These will enable optical IDs with HST which then constrain the LMXB mass and evolution. Faint sources can be resolved with the HRC down to limits which will constrain the bright LMXB luminosity function. The deeper ACIS observation will measure the dim source content and qLMXB spectrum. The full 12 cluster LMXB data set can then constrain LMXB masses, the cluster potential, and dark remnant content of globular cluster cores.
