Descripción
We recently discovered an unresolved radio source coincident with the
ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) IC 342 X-1. The radio emission and hard
X-ray spectrum of the source suggest that it is a compact object
accreting in the X-ray hard/radio loud state. This enables use of the
fundamental plane relation, found valid for stellar to supermassive
accreting black holes, to constrain the compact object mass to be near
104 solar masses. IC 342 X-1 has a redder optical spectrum
than other ULXs and the optical emission may be dominated by a late-type
supergiant companion star. We discuss radio, X-ray, and optical
observations of IC 342 X-1 and their interpretation.
