Discovery of Hot Gas in Outflow in NGC 3379
(2008-12-01)
We report the discovery of a faint (LX~4+/-1.5×1037 ergs s-1, 0.5-2 keV), outflowing gaseous hot interstellar medium (ISM) in NGC 3379. This represents the lowest X-ray luminosity ever measured from a hot phase of the ISM ...
Deep Chandra Monitoring Observations of NGC 3379 : Catalog of Source Properties
(2008-11-01)
We present the properties of the discrete X-ray sources detected in our monitoring program of the `typical' elliptical galaxy, NGC 3379, observed with Chandra ACIS-S in five separate pointings, resulting in a co-added ...
Models for Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Elliptical Galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278 : Comparison with Observations
(2008-08-01)
We present theoretical models for the formation and evolution of populations of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the two elliptical galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278. The models are calculated with the recently updated ...
