Scientific paper

We propose a single 110 ks ACIS-S observation of the well-studied nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 4278, to constrain the transient LMXB population, which is of compelling interest for binary evolution models. We expect that this observation will more than triple the size of the transient sample, and will result in a five-fold increase, if followed by another observation in a few years time. This is a unique opportunity for verifying widely discussed theories on the nature and evolution of LMXB populations that cannot be addressed with Galactic data.
