  Title: SEARCH FOR LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES IN THE GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTERS            


Abstract:
 Although the globular cluster rotation-powered pulsars are believed to be the
 descendants of LMXBs, the number of LMXB in the globular clusters is smaller than
 what is expected from the number of the pulsars by an order of magnitude. It is
 recently pointed out based on ROSAT observations that a part of the dim cluster
 sources is probably LMXBs in low-state. We attempt to classify the dim cluster
 sources by measuring the spectral hardness of them. Also, half of the bright cluster
 sources known are transient. We try to find out similar bright new sources from
 other clusters. For these purpose, we propose to observe 5 globular clusters with 20ksec for each.
