Quest for quiescent neutron star low mass X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud

We present the first spectral search for neutron stars (NSs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) between outbursts in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). We identify and discuss candidate LMXBs in quiescence in the SMC using deep Chandra X-ray observations of two portions of the SMC. We produce X-ray c...
