Abstract	Most Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are now believed to be associated withstellar mass black holes (StMBHs); however, ULXs in globular clusters arenatural candidates among which to search for (the elusive) IMBHs. Our Chandraand HST observations of the S0 galaxy NGC 1380 detected the third bona-fide ULXlocated in a GC that shows both large variability and persistent ULX emission.The ULX is a 5.8e39 erg/s source with atypically hard emission. Our proposed XMMobservation will accurately measure the spectrum of the source, allowing us toclassify it as a likely StMBH or IMBH. The variability will be determined,including searches for an orbital period, low frequency QPOs, a power-spectrumbreak, or a state change (associated spectral/luminosity variation), giving a mass estimate.

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.
