X-Ray binaries in local analogs to the first galaxies
The focus of this dissertation is to investigate the effect of metallicity on high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) formation and evolution as a means to understand the evolution of the early Universe~$(z>6)$. Understanding the population and X-ray output of HMXBs are vital to modelling the heating and i...
