An Excess of Low-mass X-Ray Binaries in the Outer Halo of NGC 4472

An Excess of Low-mass X-Ray Binaries in the Outer Halo of NGC 4472

We present new Chandra observations of the outer halo of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472 (M49) in the Virgo Cluster. The data extend to 130 kpc (28'), and have a combined exposure time of 150 ks. After identifying optical counterparts using the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey to remov...
