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
