Chandra X-ray point sources in nearby galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have analyzed Chandra ACIS observations of 32 nearby spiral and elliptical galaxies and present the results of 1441 X-ray point sources that were detected in these galaxies.

Description

The total point-source X-ray (0.3-8.0keV) luminosity L_XP_ is well correlated with the B-band, K-band, and FIR+UV luminosities of spiral host galaxies and is well correlated with the B-band and K-band luminosities of elliptical galaxies. This suggests an intimate connection between L_XP_ and both the old and young stellar populations, for which K and FIR+UV luminosities are reasonable proxies for the galaxy mass M and star formation rate SFR.
