Scientific paper

We propose to study the overall `ecology' of spiral galaxies - the diffuse ISM and the compact sources within - through a survey of M33, the closest face-on spiral. Our ACIS-I survey will cover the central region of M33 with a sensitivity of 5.E34 erg/s for point sources and 1.E35 erg/s for diffuse ones, at least a factor of two deeper than existing XMM data. More importantly, Chandra's superior spatial resolution will give a detailed view of complex structures (superbubbles, supernova remnants, and truly diffuse hot gas) on all scales > 10 pc, will resolve source confusion that confounds previous studies, and will enable identification of most point sources. The rich data set from the M33 survey, together with what promises to be an iconic image, ought to be part of Chandra's legacy.
