Scientific paper

During 2002, HST and Chandra monitoring of the M87 jet detected a dramatic flare in knot HST-1 located ~1" from the nucleus. As of late 2004 its brightness has increased fifty-fold in the optical band, and continues to increase sharply; the X-rays show a similarly dramatic outburst. In both bands HST-1 now greatly exceeds the nucleus in brightness. (truncated) We propose seven epochs of HST/STIS monitoring during Cycle 14, as well as seven epochs of Chandra/ACIS observation (5ksec each). We also include a brief HRC/ACS observations that will be used to gather spectral information and map the magnetic field structure.
