Scientific paper

We propose a Chandra observation of 1E0953.8+6918 to assess its relationship to the very strange horseshoe-shaped nebulosity seen in the direction of the galaxy Ho IX. The position and morphology of the X-ray emission is currently not well known, and this is crucial for our understanding of the nebula. If located in Ho IX, Lx is very high, possibly indicating a 100 solar mass BH binary, and the size of the nebula implies a huge shock-heated structure, which is difficult to understand. However, a Galactic interpretation is no less puzzling. The proposed observation will provide an improvement in the source location, permit a search for multiple emission components, and allow us to search pulsations from any compact emission region identified in the high resolution Chandra image.
