Scientific paper

We propose a 40 ksec observation of NGC 4472, the optically brightest galaxy in the Virgo Cluster, which remains one of the few bright nearby galaxies which has been the subject of only a single observation of more than 10 ksec. Previous observations showed many sources in the range between 4E+38 and 1E+39 ergs/sec, while other galaxies have not. These objects represent the best candidates for being transient black hole X-ray binaries with outburst durations much shorter than the 9 years since the previous deep observations. If found to be persistent, they would suggest a large ultracompact black hole X-ray binary population. These data will also present the first deep look at the globular cluster black hole in NGC 4472 since the XMM data which demonstrated its existence.
