Chandra Nearby Galaxies Point Source Catalog

The authors have analyzed Chandra ACIS observations of 32 nearby spiral and elliptical galaxies. The properties (e.g., counts in 3 energy bands, hardness ratios and inferred X-ray luminosities) of the 1441 X-ray point sources that were detected in these galaxies are listed in this table. The total point-source X-ray (0.3 - 8.0 keV) luminosity L<sub>XP</sub> is found to be well correlated with the B-band, K-band, and FIR+UV luminosities of spiral host galaxies, and is well correlated with the B-band and K-band luminosities of elliptical galaxies. This suggests an intimate connection between L<sub>XP</sub> and both the old and the young stellar populations, for which K and FIR+UV luminosities are reasonable proxies for the galaxy mass and the star formation rate (SFR). This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2006 based on CDS table J/ApJ/602/231/tablea1.dat This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
