ULTRALUMINOUS X-RAY SOURCES IN ARP 147

The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used to image the collisional ring galaxy Arp 147 for 42 ks. We detect nine X-ray sources with luminosities in the range of (1.4-7) × 10[superscript 39] erg s[superscript –1] (assuming that the sources emit isotropically) in or near the blue knots of star formation...
