This report describes research activities funded for SAO Proposal P3481-5-95, "Monitoring the Center of M31". Related activities for SAO Proposal P3486- 5-95, "A High-Resolution Survey of the Disk of M31" are also described. The research involved the data analysis and interpretation of eleven separate ROSAT (Roentgen Satellite) HRI (High Resolution Imager) observations of the center and inner disk of M31, obtained between July, 1990 and January, 1997. A log of the individual data sets is given. All proposed observations were successfully carried out by the ROSAT Observatory, and standard data products were successfully generated for each observation. There were two basic thrusts to the research. First, we wished to monitor the x-ray source nearest the nucleus of M31, to search for anti-correlated radio/x-ray variability predicted by theoretical models for the source. We would also be able to assess the degree and range of variability of other x-ray sources in the central bulge of M31 and to estimate rates of transients. Secondly, we wished to survey the entire inner disk of M31, and in particular the region covered by the recent MIT wide-band and narrow-band surveys to identify x-ray counterparts to supernova remnants, OB associations, and young blue stars, in areas in which the ROSAT PSPC survey was confused. Results of each research project are summarized. Papers describing the results in more detail are in preparation.
