We propose a 140ksec ACIS-S and HST-ACS observations of NGC5253, our nearest post-starburst galaxy. This observation, together with archival data, will yield a sensitivity limit of 5x10^35 ergs allowing us to detect for the first time in an evolved star-burst galaxy, the vast majority of active HMXBs. Our major goal is to compare the various X-ray source populations (distinguished from their X-ray and optical properties) and associate them with the evolutionary stage of the starburst. By combining these data with observations of other nearby star-forming galaxies which with NGC 5253 form a starburst age sequence, we will investigate the variations of the XRB populations (and their XLF) as a function of the starburst age. This way we will test XRB population synthesis models.
