Abstract	We propose deep observations of the Virgo Cluster galaxy NGC 4472. Our primaryaim is to understand the variability of the likely ultracompact black hole X-raybinary in one of its globular clusters. Characterizing this object s variabilitywill place important constraints on whether beaming can explain the highluminosities of ULXs. Also, NGC 4472 is the brightest galaxy in the LocalUniverse, making it ideal for studies of compact binary populations, and as agiant galaxy falling into a large cluster, it presents rich opportunities forstudies of diffuse emission. The OM data will be used for searches for classicalnovae and U-band studies of the galaxy s globular clusters.

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.
