  The emission-line dwarf galaxy NGC 3413 is known to host a bright X-ray
source near its optical center. The 0.3-10 keV luminosity of this source is
estimated to be approximately 10$^{39}$ erg$s^{-1}$ potentially qualifying it
as an ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source. A recent XMM-Newton observation
suggests that the source is not point-like, and instead, is more likely a
composite of point-like sources with extended and/or diffuse emission. The
spectral and temporal features of the bright region are similar to those
associated with the so-called broadened disk state of ULXs. Based on a
multi-color blackbody spectral fit, we estimate the mass of the bright source
to be in the range 3 - 20M$_{\odot}$. Potential optical counterparts are also
explored with the aid of available SDSS and PanStars data.
