Calibrating X-ray binary luminosity functions via optical reconnaissance II. The high-mass XLF and globular cluster population of X-ray binaries in the low star-forming spiral M81

Qiana Hunt, Elena Gallo, Rupali Chandar +2

We characterize the optical counterparts to the compact X-ray source population within the nearby spiral galaxy M81 using multi-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data. By c…

X-ray binaries in M51 I: catalog and statistics

Jared R. Rice, Blagoy Rangelov, Andrea Prestwich +3

We used archival data from the \emph{Chandra X-ray Observatory} (\emph{Chandra}) and the \emph{Hubble Space Telescope}, to identify 334 candidate X-ray binary (XRB) systems and the…

Metallicity and X-ray luminosity variations in NGC 922

Konstantinos Kouroumpatzakis, Andreas Zezas, Anna Wolter +3

We present a systematic study of the metallicity variations within the collisional ring galaxy NGC 922 based on long-slit optical spectroscopic observations. We find a metallicity…

Blue Supergiant X-ray Binaries in the Nearby Dwarf Galaxy IC 10

Silas G. T. Laycock, Dimitris M. Christodoulou, Benjamin F. Williams +2

In young starburst galaxies, the X-ray population is expected to be dominated by the relics of the most massive and short-lived stars, black-hole and neutron-star high mass X-ray b…

The X-ray Binary Population of the Nearby Dwarf Starburst Galaxy IC 10: Variable and Transient X-ray Sources

Silas G. T. Laycock, Rigel Cappallo, Benjamin F. Williams +3

We have monitored the Cassiopeia dwarf galaxy (IC 10) in a series of 10 Chandra ACIS-S observations to capture its variable and transient X-ray source population, which is expected…

Energy-dependent evolution in IC10 X-1: hard evidence for an extended corona, and implications

R. Barnard, J. F. Steiner, A. F. Prestwich +3

We have analyzed a ~130 ks XMM-Newton observation of the dynamically confirmed black hole + Wolf-Rayet (BH+WR) X-ray binary (XB) IC10 X-1, covering ~1 orbital cycle. This system ex…
