Scientific paper

We propose to obtain ACIS-I images of the nearby starburst galaxies NGC 253 and NGC 5236 (M83). Detection of supernova remnants and an extended hot wind will be compared to our GTO NICMOS emission line observations of [FeII] and H_2, showing SN remnants in [FeII] and the interactions of the hot ISM with molecular matter. The hard X-ray component will be used to identify binaries and estimate the strength of an inverse Compton component. By comparing the properties and numbers of the X-ray sources with predictions of evolutionary starburst models we will constrain the starburst models in a new and powerful way. In turn, the more accurate starburst models can be used as templates for starburst evolution studies in general.
