SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 700050

Title: THE ORIGIN OF HARD X-RAYS FROM M82

Observer: MURRAY

Subject Category: Active Galaxies and Quasars

Seq: 700050 ObsId: 00378

Long-term Plan bin: 26-Dec-1999

ABSTRACT

We propose a series of onservations of M82 spread over 1 year to investigsate the variability of sources in the nuclear region to a limiting luminosity of 1E37 ergs/sec. This will allow us to determnine if the hard x-rays ion M82 come from a low luminosity AGN and to investigate the properties of x-ray binaries and luminous SNR in the galaxy. Co-adding the data will allow studies of extended emission and a super-wind halo.
