Scientific paper

During A01-10 we found sufficient numbers of Black Hole X-ray Novae (BHXN) in M31 in order to estimate orbital periods for 10, and make the first comparison to the MW BHXN orbital period distribution. We propose to continue this Chandra/HST program, concentrating our scarce HST resources on a single transient which exceeds the NS Eddington limit. Only uninterrupted monitoring can yield the duty cycles and long-term lightcurves of BHXN (and other variables) in M31. Our GO+GTO programs have accumulated over 600ks (ACIS+HRC) near the M31 bulge. By continuing our monitoring program we will reach >750ks on the bulge and >1Msec total Chandra M31 exposure.
