Scientific paper

Observations of X-ray transients have posed crucial constraints to the processes and evolution of accretion disks in LMXB populations. Yet, the data to constrain the transient behavior of the most luminous BH LMXBs does not exist to date. We propose to study this rare component of the LMXB population, by observing the giant Virgo elliptical NGC4649 with ACIS-S {twice for 100 ks each}. The extraordinarily rich population of 58 BH candidates with LX> 2 1038 erg s-1 {40 with LX> 3 1038 erg s-1} of this galaxy provides the ideal sample for this study.;
