Abstract	We propose a 124 ks XMM-Newton observation of IC 10 X-1, the most massive knownstellar-mass black hole binary (black hole mass 23-35 Msun). Our primary sciencegoals include : 1) To obtain high-quality light curves that will enable us tosearch for the presence of mHz QPOs, measure the PDS, and compare the observedbehavior with that seen in a sub-sample of ULXs and Galactic systems of knownmass. This will enable us to assess the extent to which IC 10 X-1 fits withinthe mass hierarchy of stellar-mass black holes, and could provide further clueslinking ULXs to massive stellar black hole systems like IC 10 X-1. 2) To obtaina high signal-to-noise eclipse profile that will enable the rare opportunity todirectly map the size of the X-ray source.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
