On the Short-period Eclipsing High-mass X-Ray Binary in NGC 4214
We present the results of our study of the luminous ( L _X ≈ 10 ^39 erg s ^−1 ) X-ray binary CXOU J121538.2+361921 in NGC 4214, the high-mass X-ray binary with the shortest known orbital period. Using Chandra data, we confirm the ≈13,000 s (3.6 hr) eclipse period, and an eclipse duration of ≈2000 s....
