Scientific paper

We propose to complete a rich, X-ray unbiased, multiwavelength Legacy dataset for a sample of 40 nearby galaxies. These galaxies are a distance limited (d < 10 Mpc) sample from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey (SINGS) Legacy program. The sample is now 45% complete. Our observations will detect X-ray binaries as faint as 3e36-1e37 erg/s, allowing us to constrain the X-ray binary/SFR correlation over a large range of galaxy properties and build X-ray binary Luminosity Functions for galaxies across a range of star formation histories. We will produce Legacy datasets and source catalogs for the community, and run theoretical binary population synthesis models in support of this effort.
