Scientific paper

We propose a multi-segmented 1 Ms observation of M101, a near-by face-on spiral in a direction of low Galactic absorption. The observation will detect point sources to L(0.5-2.0 keV)=4x10^35 ergs/s, detect nearly all young to middle-aged SNR, detect and resolve super-bubbles typical of the Milky Way, and provide an unprecedented view of the hot ISM in a spiral galaxy. Coupled with our HST-ACS images, we will be able to measure directly the X-ray output of individual stellar clusters, and better determine the galactic energy budget. The resulting images will bring a wealth of material to a broad range of galactic, stellar, and ISM studies.
