Scientific paper

We request seven 5ksec observations of M87 spaced out over the time this source is available to Chandra, 2003Nov to 2004Aug. This proposal is a continuation of our very successful AO3 and AO4 monitoring, during which we discovered the first X-ray flare from an extragalactic jet clearly distinct from the core of the host galaxy. We have used the X-ray lightcurve to show the emission arises from the synchrotron process. Here we request an additional year of monitoring to follow the light curve as this flare decays across the electromagnetic spectrum; these data which allow determination of many physical parameters of the source region. Contemporary observations with the VLA, HST, and H.E.S.S (TeV gamma ray astronomy) are planned.
