Scientific paper

A series of four Chandra observations since 22 December 2004 show that M101 ULX-1 (CXO KM101 J140332.74+542102, the subject of Atels #222, 305, 306, and 311) has brightened significantly. The count-rate of the first two observations is too low to allow spectral fitting. The spectrum from the 30 Dec 2004 observation provided about 620 counts, allowing a reasonable spectral fit. There is no significant flux above 1 keV, and the spectrum is well fit by an absorbed black-body spectrum (NH=3.5e21, kT=0.06+/-0.01).
