We propose a 50 ks Chandra/ACIS-S and 4x5 ks ACIS-I observations of the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A to monitor the X-ray jet and X-ray binary population. We will search for proper motions of the X-ray knots, and continue our ongoing monitoring the X-ray fluxes and spectra for all the knots in the jet. The energy loss timescale of the synchrotron emission from the jet is of the order of years in the equipartition magnetic fields. In addition, we will observe the two known ULXs to determine their spectral states if active, and study the rest of the X-ray binary population down to an X-ray luminosity of 1E37 ergs/s in the 0.1-10.0 keV band. We will continue our monitoring campaign of the LMXB population to a sensitivity unmatched in any other early-type galaxy.
