Displacement of X-Ray Sources from Star Clusters in Starburst Galaxies
P. Kaaret, A. Alonso-Herrero, J. S. Gallagher +3
We examine the spatial offsets between X-ray point sources and star clusters in three starburst galaxies. We find that the X-ray sources are preferentially located near the star cl…
X-ray Luminosity Function and Total Luminosity of LMXB in Early Type Galaxies
Dong-Woo Kim, Giuseppina Fabbiano
We have derived bias-corrected X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of sources detected in a uniformly selected sample of 14 E and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra ACIS-S3. The entir…
NGC 4261 and NGC 4697: rejuvenated elliptical galaxies
A. Zezas, L. Hernquist, G. Fabbiano +1
Chandra images present evidence for a non-uniform spatial distribution of discrete X-ray sources in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4261. This non-uniform distribution is inconsistent wi…
First results from a Chandra survey of the 'Bar' region of the SMC
A. Zezas, J. C. McDowell, D. Hadzidimitriou +3
We present the first results from a Chandra survey of the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We detect a total of 122 sources down to a limiting luminosity of ~4.3x10^{3…
Long term X-ray spectral variability of the nucleus of M81
V. La Parola, G. Fabbiano, M. Elvis +3
We have analysed the soft X-ray emission from the nuclear source of the nearby spiral galaxy M81, using the available data collected with ROSAT, ASCA, BeppoSAX and Chandra. The sou…
The Multi-Colored Hot Interstellar Medium of "The Antennae" Galaxies (NGC 4038/39)
G. Fabbiano, M. Krauss, A. Zezas +2
We report the results of the analysis of the extended soft emission discovered in the Chandra ACIS pointing at the merging system NGC 4038/39 (the Antennae). We present a `multi-co…
