Transient Low-mass X-ray Binary Populations in Elliptical Galaxies NGC 3379 and NGC 4278
(2009-09-01)
We propose a physically motivated and self-consistent prescription for the modeling of transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) properties, such as duty cycle (DC), outburst duration, and recurrence time. We ...
Comparing GC and Field LMXBs in elliptical galaxies with Deep Chandra and Hubble Data
(2009-09-01)
We present a statistical study of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations of three nearby, old elliptical galaxies: NGC 3379, NGC 4278, and NGC 4697. With a cumulative ~1 Ms Chandra ACIS observing time, we detect ...
Deep Chandra Monitoring Observations of NGC 4278 : Catalog of Source Properties
(2009-04-01)
We present the properties of the discrete X-ray sources detected in our monitoring program of the globular cluster (GC) rich elliptical galaxy, NGC 4278, observed with Chandra ACIS-S in six separate pointings, resulting ...
