The nearby early-type galaxy NGC4261 reveals strikingly asymmetric distributions of X-ray sources as seen with Chandra, and globular clusters GC as seen in the optical band. To address the link between these populations based on their spatial correlation, luminosity function and spectral properties, and to inve- stigate the possibility that this effect is due to the galaxy's merger history, we propose a 100ksec Chandra ACIS-S3 exposure, which will detect X-ray sources down to typical LMXB luminosities Lx~5E37 erg/s, and HST-WFPC2 observations to obtain a deep census of the GC population over the whole galaxy. These data will also allow a detailed study of its complex gaseous component, and provide information on the unique two-sided X-ray jet.;
