Scientific paper

The accretion processes that power cosmic X-ray sources have been well-studied over the past several decades. However, the connection between X-ray sources and their parent stellar populations is still only vaguely understood. We propose to remedy this situation with a homogeneous X-ray survey of nearby large galaxies in a volume-limited sample with extensive Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging. The resolved stellar photometry from HST provides detailed measurements of the galaxies' star formation histories. We will tie these star formation histories to the measured X-ray source populations of these galaxies, providing crucial ingredients to the understanding of the formation and evolution of X-ray sources and galaxies.
