Scientific paper

We have shown that the optical counterpart of RBS~1032, the luminous supersoft X-ray source, is a bright non-emission-line dwarf galaxy with a prominent nucleus, due to the presence of super-massive globular clusters. We have also demonstrated that the supersoft X-ray emissions are from an intermediate mass black hole system, which is hosted by one of the nuclear globular clusters of the dwarf galaxy. However, presently we are unable to constrain the X-ray spectral parameters, as well as the mass of the intermediate mass black hole, due to the only available low-S/N ROSAT spectra of RBS~1032. In addition, we want to confirm the positional concidence between RBS~1032. To achieve these goals, we propose only two 10 ks, each, XMM-Newton observations of RBS~0132.
