Scientific paper

M32 is an important benchmark for our understanding of elliptical galaxies. It is the nearest elliptical, and its constituents can be probed to luminosities 400 times fainter than in Virgo galaxies. M32 is the best studied low-luminosity E and is a key to understanding the dependence of stellar X-ray binary and hot gas emission on E galaxy luminosity. Its massive nuclear black hole lies in the densest known central stellar system, making M32 a prime test of ADAF and related models of AGN energetics. We propose a deep ACIS observation of M32 that takes full advantage of its proximity to investigate its X-ray constituents to the faintest practical luminosities (1e35 erg/s) with good spectral information.
