Scientific paper

Identification of unique optical counterparts of ultraluminous X-ray sources will help us understand the evolutionary state of the ULX binaries and may enable direct mass measurements. The search for counterparts has been hampered by the limitations of the absolute astrometry of Chandra. Using wider optical fields, made possible with the HST/ACS, we demonstrate that we should detect multiple X-ray sources with optical counterparts which will enable us to achieve 0.1-0.2 arcsecond relative astrometry between HST and Chandra. This should enable a unique counterpart identification for the ULX in IC 342.
