Spectral Properties of X-ray Binaries in Centaurus A
Mark J. Burke, Somak Raychaudhury, Ralph P. Kraft +19
We present a spectral investigation of X-ray binaries in NGC 5128 (Cen A), using six 100 ks Chandra observations taken over two months in 2007. We divide our sample into thermally…
On the origin of the metallicity dependence in dynamically formed extragalactic low-mass X-ray binaries
N. Ivanova, T. Fragos, D. -W. Kim +6
Globular clusters (GCs) effectively produce dynamically-formed low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). Observers detect ~100 times more LMXBs per stellar mass in GCs compared to stars in…
A Transient Sub-Eddington Black Hole X-ray Binary Candidate in the Dust Lanes of Centaurus A
Mark J. Burke, Somak Raychaudhury, Ralph P. Kraft +18
We report the discovery of a bright X-ray transient, CXOU J132527.6-430023, in the nearby early-type galaxy NGC 5128. The source was first detected over the course of five Chandra…
Luminosity functions of LMXBs in Centaurus A: globular clusters versus the field
R. Voss, M. Gilfanov, G. R. Sivakoff +16
We study the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) in the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A, concentrating primarily on two aspects of binary populat…
High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A
J. H. Croston, R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle +19
We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations. The X-ray spectrum of the emission…
