Scientific paper

Interaction and mergers are believed to play an important role in shaping the galaxies we observe today. Following the starburst induced by major galaxy interactions, a significant LMXB population should be born and die over several Gyr timescale. There is some evidence that young early-type galaxies can possess enhanced numbers of ULX. We propose to investigate this using a well-defined sample of early-type galaxies which have experienced significant interactions within the last few Gyr. This will provide an insight into the lifetimes of the ULX and the relation between the LMXB and ULX in such galaxies. Our observations will also enable us to investigate how the hot gas evolves in young early-type galaxies and to test the predictions of galaxy wind models.
