Four close dSph XXM observations
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the results of the analysis of deep archival XMM-Newton observations towards the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Draco, Leo I, Ursa Major II (UMa II) and Ursa Minor (UMi) in the Milky Way neighbourhood.
Description
The X-ray source population is characterized and cross-correlated with available databases to infer their nature. We also investigate if intermediate-mass black holes are hosted in the centre of these galaxies.
For Draco, we detect 96 high-energy sources, two of them possibly being local stars, while no evidence for any X-ray emitting central compact object is found. Towards the Leo I and UMa II fields of view, we reveal 116 and 49 X-ray sources, respectively. None of them correlates with the putative central black holes and only one is likely associated with a UMa II local source.

The study of the UMi dwarf galaxy found 54 high-energy sources and a possible association with a source at the dwarf spheroidal galaxy centre. We put an upper limit on the luminosity of the central compact object of 4.02x10^33^erg/s. Furthermore, via the correlation with a radio source near the galactic centre, the putative black hole should have a mass of (2.76^+32.00^_-2.54_)x10^6^M_{sun}_ and be radiatively inefficient.
This confirms a previous result obtained using Chandra data alone.
