The Chandra Local Volume Survey: The X-ray Point Source Population of NGC 404
B. Binder, B. F. Williams, M. Eracleous +4
We present a comprehensive X-ray point source catalog of NGC 404 obtained as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. A new, 97 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of NGC 404 was combine…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury IV. A Probabilistic Approach to Inferring the High Mass Stellar Initial Mass Function and Other Power-law Functions
Daniel R. Weisz, Morgan Fouesneau, David W. Hogg +13
We present a probabilistic approach for inferring the parameters of the present day power-law stellar mass function (MF) of a resolved young star cluster. This technique (a) fully…
Supernova Remnant Progenitor Masses in M31
Zachary G. Jennings, Benjamin F. Williams, Jeremiah W. Murphy +5
Using HST photometry, we age-date 59 supernova remnants (SNRs) in the spiral galaxy M31 and use these ages to estimate zero-age main sequence masses (MZAMS) for their progenitors.…
The Nature of Starbursts: III. The Spatial Distribution of Star Formation
Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Evan D. Skillman, Julianne J. Dalcanton +5
We map the spatial distribution of recent star formation over a few x 100 Myr timescales in fifteen starburst dwarf galaxies using the location of young blue helium burning stars i…
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury II. Tracing the Inner M31 Halo with Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
Benjamin F. Williams, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Eric F. Bell +7
We attempt to constrain the shape of M31's inner stellar halo by tracing the surface density of blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars at galactocentric distances ranging from 2 kpc to…
The Chandra Local Volume Survey: The X-ray Point Source Catalog of NGC 300
Breanna Binder, Benjamin F. Williams, Michael Eracleous +7
We present the source catalog of a new Chandra ACIS-I observation of NGC 300 obtained as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. Our 63 ks exposure covers ~88% of the D25 isophote…
