Scientific paper

We propose to observe the nearby star-forming galaxies NGC4214 and NGC5253 which together with the bar of SMC, NGC55 and NGC1569 form a starburst age sequence. The proposed observations, together with archival data, will allow us to detect for the first time in galaxies outside the Local Group the vast majority of High-Mass X-ray binaries. We will investigate for variations of the XLF shape and the XRB populations as a function of the starburst age. and test X-ray binary population synthesis models. We propose to split the observations of NGC~4214 and NGC~5253 in two exposures and obtain a short snapshot observation of the other 3 targets in our sample to identify transient Super-Eddington sources, which will indicate candidate intermediate-mass black hole binaries.
