Chandra compact binaries in 47 Tuc

We have obtained high-resolution (~half with L_X_~50 percent are MSPs, about 30 percent are accreting white dwarfs, about 15 percent are main-sequence binaries in flare outbursts, and only two to three are quiescent low-mass X-ray binaries containing neutron stars, the conventional progenitors of MSPs. An upper limit of about 470 times the mass of the sun is derived for the mass of an accreting central black hole in the cluster. These observations provide the first X-ray ``color-magnitude'' diagram for a globular cluster and census of its compact object and binary population. Observations were made on UT 16.31 - 17.22 March, 2000.
