Scientific paper

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are bright, non-nuclear X-ray sources in external galaxies. They have been interpreted as microquasars with jet beamed towards us (microblazars), mechanically beamed stellar-mass accreting black holes, and intermediate-mass black holes. We have an approved program to monitor the ULX in M82 with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. Here, we propose Chandra observations to be triggered after a state transition by the source to a high flux state. This will permit us to accurately measure the spectrum of the source in a high flux state to accurately measure the X-ray and multiwavelength spectrum of the source and search for reported Fe line emission and quasiperiodic oscillations.
