NGC 4365 Chandra LMXB Catalog

The authors used the Chandra X-Ray Observatory ACIS-S3 to image the X-ray-faint elliptical galaxy NGC 4365 and the lenticular galaxy NGC 4382. This table presents only the NGC 4365 results; however, the results for NGC 4382 are also available in <a href="ngc4382cxo.html">a separate table</a>. NGC 4365 was observed on 2001 June 23 with a live exposure of 40429 s. The observations resolved much of the X-ray emission into 99 sources for NGC 4365, most of which are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with the galaxy. Within one effective radius of NGC 4365, about 45% of the counts were resolved into sources, 30% were attributed to unresolved LMXBs, and 25% were attributed to diffuse gas. The authors identified 18 out of the 37 X-ray sources in a central field in NGC 4365 with globular clusters. The authors defined two hardness ratios: HR21 = (M - S)/(M + S) and HR31 = (H - S)/(H + S), where S, M, and H are the total counts in the soft (0.3 - 1 keV), medium (1 - 2 keV), and hard (2 - 10 keV) bands, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/599/218">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/599/218</a> file table1.dat.
