Scientific paper

NGC 3599 is an optically non-active galaxy that has been discovered to meet all known criteria for objects within the tidal disruption scenario. At 11.9 Mpc it is the closest known candidate and, as such, may be an important target for future high spatial-resolution observations in other wavebands. Here we propose to observe NGC 3599 with Chandra ACIS-S for 20 ks taking advantage of its excellent spatial resolution to confirm that the X-ray flare originates in the galactic nucleus and achieve a high significance point on the light curve to test whether the decay in emission still follows the theoretical t^-5/3 law.
