The X-ray Binary-Star Cluster Connection in Late-Type Galaxies
Qiana Hunt, Rupali Chandar, Elena Gallo +3
We conduct one of the largest systematic investigations of bright X-ray binaries (XRBs) in both young star clusters and ancient globular clusters (GCs) using a sample of six nearby…
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…
Calibrating X-ray binary luminosity functions via optical reconnaissance I. The case of M83
Qiana Hunt, Elena Gallo, Rupali Chandar +4
Building on recent work by Chandar et al. (2020), we construct X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) for different classes of X-ray binary (XRB) donors in the nearby star-forming galax…
Towards a high accuracy measurement of the local black hole occupation fraction in low mass galaxies
Elena Gallo, Edmund Hodges-Kluck, Tommaso Treu +7
This document illustrates the feasibility of a few per cent level measurement of the local black hole occupation fraction in low mass galaxies through wide-field, high angular reso…
