Scientific paper

NGC 1313 is a prime target for Chandra for several reasons. Previous observations have discovered 8 galactic X-ray sources, 5 of them with luminosities between 6x10^{37} and 6x10^{38. One of these is the supernova remnant SN 1978K. NGC 1313 is an interacting galaxy with evidence of widespread star formation. Our ACIS-S observations are designed to study several of these special features, but will focus on the galactic center, which has so far not been detected in X-rays. Our observations will either discover a central X-ray source (or sources), or will place an upper limit approximately an order of magnitude below the previous upper limit, which was obtained with about180 ksec of observations with the ROSAT HRI.
