Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a 12 ks Chandra HRC-I image of the starburst galaxy IC342. IC342 is well known to house several ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). One of the ULXs is very close to the center of the galaxy. The ULX is very bright (Lx~1e40 erg/s) and has a complicated spectral shape. Based on the XMM position, it is not clear if it is the real center of the galaxy. Alternatively, it can be a non-nuclear ULX associated with a star cluster. The HRC-I image will improve the astrometry to 0.1-0.3 arcsecond and allow us to confirm the nature of the ULX.
