Scientific paper

We propose a 50Ks ACIS-S observation of NGC 3310, the most nearby X-ray luminous starburst galaxy. Its X-ray luminosity places it (with the Antennae, Arp299 and NGC3256) at the upper end of the luminosity function of nearby star-forming galaxies. With Chandra we will determine if the same mechanisms are responsible for the X-ray emission in both low and high X-ray luminosity starbursts. We will study the nature of the resolved sources and determine the relative contribution of the diffuse and point source components. By extending the range of starburst galaxies observed by Chandra to higher X-ray luminosities it will be possible to perform statistical studies of their properties, which will help the understanding of high redshift starbursts which cannot be observed in comparable detail
