We report the detection of six discrete , low-luminosity ( L _ { X } < 10 ^ { 33 } ~ { } \mbox { $ { erg } ~ { } { s } ^ { -1 } $ } ) X-ray sources , located within 12″ of the center of the collapsed-core globular cluster M30 ( NGC 7099 ) , and a total of 13 sources within the half-mass radius , from a 50 ksec Chandra ACIS-S exposure .
Three sources lie within the very small upper limit of 1 \farcs 9 on the core radius .
The brightest of the three core sources has a luminosity of L _ { X } \mbox { ( 0.5 - -6 ~ { } keV ) } \approx 6 \times 10 ^ { 32 } ~ { } \mbox { $ { erg } ~ { } { s% } ^ { -1 } $ } and a blackbody-like soft X-ray spectrum , which are both consistent with it being a quiescent low-mass X-ray binary ( qLMXB ) .
We have identified optical counterparts to four of the six central sources and a number of the outlying sources , using deep Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based imaging .
While the two proposed counterparts that lie within the core may represent chance superpositions , the two identified central sources that lie outside of the core have X-ray and optical properties consistent with being CVs .
Two additional sources outside of the core have possible active binary counterparts .
We discuss the X-ray source population of M30 in light of its collapsed-core status .
