****************************************************** PR # 95 The nearby (3.5 Mpc) face-on spiral galaxy NGC1313 contains 3 intriguing sources, all with soft X-ray luminosities around 10**40 erg/s, and separated from one another by 6 arcmin. The first is near but not coincident with the optical nucleus, and shows a spectrum consistent with that of a LINER's. The second has shown flux variability of a factor of 2 over 12 years, and is thought to be the most luminous known X-ray binary. The third is SN1978K, the first supernova to be identified as such on the basis of its X-ray emission. An ASCA observation will simultaneously yield the specta of all three objects, and allow a determination of their emission mechanism and hence their nature. ******************************************************
