Scientific paper

We request a continuation of our monitoring of the M87 jet. The primary driver is the large X-ray/Optical outburst of the jet knot, HST-1. Both the optical and X-ray intensities have increased by a factor of 15 during the last few years, To test our detailed emission models, we need to track the lightcurve during a decay. Many of the characteristics of these events are similar to blazar variability but HST-1 is clearly resolved from the nuclear emission of M87 at a projected distance of 60pc. In addition to our regular 7 observations separated by 6 week intervals, we are requesting 5 on a weekly basis, and one in continuous clocking mode to pin down the spectral parameters which are now compromised by ACIS pileup.
