COMPARING GC AND FIELD LMXBs IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES WITH DEEP CHANDRA AND HUBBLE DATA
We present a statistical study of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations of three nearby, old elliptical galaxies: NGC 3379, NGC 4278, and NGC 4697. With a cumulative 1 Ms Chandra ACIS observing time, we detect 90-170 LMXBs within the D25 ellipse of each galaxy. Cross-correlating Chandra X-ray...
