FIELD AND GLOBULAR CLUSTER LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES IN NGC 4278

We report a detailed spectral analysis of the population of low-massX-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4278 with Chandra. Seven luminous sources were studied individually, four in globular clusters (GCs) and three in the stellar field. The range of (0.3-8 keV) LX for these...
