With observational data from VERITAS, HESS, and MAGIC, it appears that there are TeV 'high states' for M87 which can last a few weeks and provide many nightly detections at a level significantly higher than the 'quiet state'. Because we model the TeV emission as IC scattering by the same electrons responsible for X-ray synchrotron emission, we expect that TeV variability will be mirrored in the UV and X-rays. To determine the location of TeV emission and to obtain quasi simultaneous photometry to refine sync/IC calculations, we request a Chandra TOO program on M87 to be triggered by the TeV 'high state' condition. We request a maximum of 90 ks, divided into 5ks observations so as to construct a light curve for comparison with those obtained by the Cherenkov observatories.
