Scientific paper

We propose 25ks observations both Dwingeloo 1 and Maffei 2. Together with our approved AO6 observation of Maffei 1, these represent the most detailed X-ray study of the principal members the Maffei group of galaxies. Despite being an immediate neighbour of the Local Group, this group has been very poorly studied in X-rays due to its location in the zone-of-avoidance. Penetrating the Galactic absorption with hard X-rays, we will survey AGN activity in these galaxies and perform the first X-ray study of the starburst in Maffei 2; both AGN and starbursts are important mechanisms through which these galaxies can influence their surroundings. We will also perform a census of all luminous X-ray binaries in these galaxies and investigate the nature of the ULX in Dwingeloo 1.
