Scientific paper

We propose to study the population of High-Mass X-ray Binaries and Black-Hole X-Ray transients in a young Star-Burst. By means of regular monitoring, HMXBs will be identified during their regular outbursts at logLx>36 erg/s and orbital periods estimated for many. The optical novae accompanying BHXRTs brighter than LogLx>38 erg/s will be caught by HST to determine their binary parameters. Comparison with the Galaxy, M31 and the Magellanic Clouds will provide a direct and powerful demonstration of the role of age and environment in the evolution of the XRB populations of star forming galaxies, as a function of metallicity and star-formation rate.
