Scientific paper

A "fundamental plane'' of black hole activity has recently been found, possibly indicating that a specific disk-jet coupling governs all black holes. The potential importance of this relation demands that it be tested rigorously. Correlations between X-ray and radio flux are observed in individual stellar-mass black holes that bolster the robustness of the implied coupling. Similar correlations should hold in all black hole classes on the plane. We propose to make a careful search for correlated variability in the Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 4051 via 10 short (10 ksec each) and contemporaneous Chandra and VLA observations. NGC4051 displays strong X-ray variability on the timescale of weeks and months, and has a moderately-bright radio core (0.5 mJy at GHz frequencies).
