Scientific paper

We propose to observe the nearby (3.1 Mpc) S0 galaxy NGC 5102 with the ACIS-S for 35 ks to resolve the diffuse emission from the point source population. For many early galaxies, particularly X-ray underluminous galaxies (class 1 galaxies by the definition of Irwin and Sarazin 1998) such as NGC 5102, a significant fraction of their X-ray luminosity comes from an LMXB population. NGC 5102 is considerably less massive and less X-ray luminous than early galaxies previously observed with Chandra, but its proximity permits detailed observation. We will determine the relationship between the diffuse and point like components, measure the temperature and density of the diffuse component, and investigate the nature of the soft X-ray excess seen in this and other X-ray underluminous galaxies.
