A Serendipitous NuSTAR Detection of a Giant Radio Source Harboring an Obscured Active Galactic Nucleus
Vaidehi S. Paliya, S. Marchesi, X. Zhao +3
Giant radio sources (GRSs) harbor the Universe's largest structures generated by individual galaxies, with projected source sizes exceeding 700 kpc. These enigmatic objects have be…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the group-centric elliptical galaxy NGC 5813
T. R. Rajalakshmi, Somak Raychaudhury, Indulekha Kavila +1
The number of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs) is observed to be correlated with the current star formation rate in late-type galaxies and with the stellar mass in early-type gal…
The fading of two transient ULXs to below the stellar mass Eddington limit
Mark J. Burke, Ralph P. Kraft, Roberto Soria +10
We report new detections of the two transient ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in NGC 5128 from an ongoing series of Chandra observations. Both sources have previously been obser…
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…
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…
