Abstract

X-ray binaries (XBs) dominate the X-ray emission of normal galaxies. The new X-ray satellite XMM will study the XB population of M31 in detail. The resulting M31 sample will significantly advance our understanding of the evolutionary history of XBs, and ultimately allow us to probe the star formation history of stellar populations by X-ray observations.
