XMM spectral analysis of Draco dSph

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present the spectral analysis of an 87ks XMM-Newton observation of Draco, a nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy.

Description

Of the approximately 35 robust X-ray source detections, we focus our attention on the brightest of these sources, for which we report X-ray and multiwavelength parameters. While most of the sources exhibit properties consistent with active galactic nuclei, few of them possess the characteristics of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and cataclysmic variable (CVs).

Our analysis places constraints on the population of X-ray sources with LX>3x10^33^erg/s in Draco, suggesting that there are no actively accreting black hole and neutron star binaries. However, we find four sources that could be quiescent state LMXBs/CVs associated with Draco. We also place constraints on the central black hole luminosity and on a dark matter decay signal around 3.5keV.
