Investigating New Integral Sources with Chandra
Abstract
We propose to trigger a maximum of 2 Chandra fast (4-15 days) ToO observations on new sources discovered by INTEGRAL. We ask for 20 ksec per observation, using HETGS. The scientific aims are: 1) determine the source position with Chandra unique sub-arcsecond accuracy, which will allow our team to perform source identification and multi-wavelength follow-up observations, crucial in the crowded Galactic plane and center regions; 2) obtain the high resolution HETGS X-ray spectrum, free from pile-up distortions, crucial to determine the nature of the new source. We aim to continue our successful INTEGRAL-Chandra monitoring program begun in Chandra AO 5.
