Scientific paper
The use of an imaging optical/UV monitor in an X-ray astronomy facility for simultaneous X-ray, optical, and ultraviolet observations is discussed. The need for such multifrequency observations is examined and examples of scientific benefits of an optical/UV monitor are given. It is shown that the instrument can monitor not only the multifrequency variability of such active sources as quasars, Seyfert galaxies, BL Lac objects, X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables, RS CVn stars, and flare stars, but also can provide astrometry, broadband colors, low-resolution spectroscopy, and imaging of constant sources and observed field objects. Some of the design and performance characteristics of the monitor are described.
