The Luminosity Function of X - ray point sources in Centaurus A
We have studied the X-ray point source population of Centaurus A (NGC 5128) using data from four archival CHANDRA observations. We detected 272 point-like X-ray sources within a radius of 10 ′ from the centre. Approximately half of these are CXB sources, with the remaining half being LMXBs. The spatial distribution of the LMXBs, both azimuthally averaged and 2-D, is consistent with the distribu...
متن کاملX - ray luminosity function of faint point sources in the Milky Way
We assess the contribution to the X-ray (above 2 keV) luminosity of the Milky Way from different classes of low-mass binary systems and single stars. We begin by using the RXTE Slew Survey of the sky at |b| > 10 to construct an X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of nearby X-ray sources in the range 10 erg s < Lx < 10 34 erg s (where Lx is the luminosity over 2–10 keV), occupied by coronally active...
متن کاملOn the Universal X-ray Luminosity Function of Binary X-ray Sources in Galaxies
The empirically determined universal power-law shape of X-ray luminosity function of high mass X-ray binaries in galaxies is explained by fundamental mass-luminosity and mass-radius relations for massive stars. The unique possibilities offerred by modern X-ray space observatories Chandra and XMM-Newton make it possible to observe point-like X-ray sources in nearby galaxies which allows studies ...
