The Ultraluminous X-Ray Source in M82
Abstract
The ultraluminous X-ray source in M82 is, perhaps, the best candidate intermediate mass black hole. We report on the discovery and interpretation of a 62 day X-ray periodicity found in 240 days of monitoring with RXTE and on Chandra and VLA observations taken after detection of a large X-ray flare.
