THE X-RAY SPECTRA OF THE LUMINOUS LMXBs IN NGC 3379: FIELD AND GLOBULAR CLUSTER SOURCES

From a deep multi-epoch Chandra observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 we report the spectral properties of eight luminous LMXBs (LX < 1.2 × 1038 erg s-1). We also present a set of spectral simulations, produced to aid the interpretation of low-count single-component spectral modeling....
