ABSTRACT
We propose deep observations of the Virgo Cluster galaxy NGC 4472. Our primary aim is to understand the variability of the likely ultracompact black hole X-ray binary in one of its globular clusters. Characterizing this object s variability will place important constraints on whether beaming can explain the high luminosities of ULXs. Also, NGC 4472 is the brightest galaxy in the Local Universe, making it ideal for studies of compact binary populations, and as a giant galaxy falling into a large cluster, it presents rich opportunities for studies of diffuse emission. The OM data will be used for searches for classical novae and U-band studies of the galaxy s globular clusters.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
