Scientific paper

We propose three 60~ks XMM-Newton EPIC observations spread throughout Cycle 3 to study the spectral/temporal properties of two exceptional variable X-ray sources in the spiral galaxy NGC~1365: the Seyfert 1.8 nucleus and the extra- nuclear ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) detected with ASCA at luminosities surpassing 10E40 ergs/s. The proposed observations will be crucial for understanding the physics of the AGN emission and of the Compton-thick/-thin transitions. The observations of the ULX will provide variability and spectral information that will help us to constrain the nature of this rare class of exceptionally luminous sources, of which very little is known: intermediate mass black holes, less extreme beamed X-ray binaries, or microquasars.
