A multi-coloured survey of NGC 253 with XMM-Newton: testing the methods used for creating luminosity functions from low-count data
R. Barnard, L. Shaw Greening, U. Kolb
NGC 253 is a local, star-bursting spiral galaxy with strong X-ray emission from hot gas, as well as many point sources. We have conducted a spectral survey of the X-ray population…

A Multi-coloured survey of NGC 253 with XMM-Newton
R. Barnard, L. Shaw Greening, U. Kolb
There is a large body of work that has used the excellent Chandra observations of nearby galaxies with neglible low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations. This has culminated in a `…

Cumulative luminosity functions of the X-ray point source population in M31
L. Shaw Greening, C. Tonkin, R. Barnard +2
We present preliminary results from a detailed analysis of the X-ray point sources in the XMM-Newton survey of M31. These sources are expected to be mostly X-ray binaries. We have…
