Chandra LMXB in NGC 4649

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a Chandra X-ray observation of the X-ray bright E2 elliptical galaxy NGC 4649.

Description

In addition to bright diffuse emission, we resolve 165 discrete sources, most of which are presumably low-mass X-ray binaries. As found in previous studies, the luminosity function of the resolved sources is well-fitted by a broken power law.

In NGC 4697 and NGC 1553, the break luminosity was comparable to the Eddington luminosity of a 1.4M_{sun}_ neutron star.
