Scientific paper

We present results of a multiwavelength study of the nearby spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194). We have obtained deep, high resolution, multi-frequency radio observations using the Very Large Array. We report the detection of numerous point sources, with 12 radioX-ray counterparts identified from a deep Chandra observation. Most of the radio emission is due to the presence of H ii regions, supernovae, supernova remnants, and X-ray binaries. We report radio and X-ray emission from a region coincident with the position of SN1994I approximately nine years after maximum light.
