NGC 4382 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 4382 results; however, the results for NGC 4365 are also available in <a href="ngc4365cxo.html">a separate table</a>. NGC 4382 was observed on 2001 May 29-30 for 39749 s. The observations resolved much of the X-ray emission into 58 sources for NGC 4382, most of which are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with the galaxy. Within two effective radii of NGC 4382, about 22% of the counts were resolved into sources, 33% were attributed to unresolved LMXBs, and 45% were attributed to diffuse gas. 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 table2.dat.
