Scientific paper

Ultra-Luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) may represent 30-100 solar-mass accreting black holes -- extremely important if true, but highly controversial. We propose here multiple XMM-Newton observations of the nearby spiral galaxy IC~342, which harbors two of the most luminous and best studied ULXs, in order to characterize how the ULX spectra evolve as a function of luminosity. Comparing this with the behavior of the stellar mass accreting black holes in our Galaxy will establish (or refute) the high mass black hole scenario for ULX.
