cds-question@unistra.frglobular-star-clustersx-ray-binary-starsBased on the archival data from the Chandra observations of nearby galaxies, we study different sub populations of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) - dynamically formed systems in globular clusters (GCs) and in the nucleus of M 31 and (presumably primordial) X-ray binaries in the fields of galaxies. Our aim is to produce accurate luminosity distributions of X-ray binaries in different environments, suitable for quantitative comparison with each other and with the output of population synthesis calculations. Our sample includes seven nearby galaxies (M 31, Maffei 1, Centaurus A, M 81, NGC 3379, NGC 4697, and NGC 4278) and the Milky Way, which together provide relatively uniform coverage down to the luminosity limit of 10^35^erg/s. In total we have detected 185 LMXBs associated with GCs, 35 X-ray sources in the nucleus of M 31, and 998 field sources of which ~365 are expected to be background AGN. We combine these data, taking special care to accurately account for X-ray and optical incompleteness corrections and the removal of the contamination from the cosmic X-ray background sources, to produce luminosity distributions of X-ray binaries in different environments to far greater accuracy than has been obtained previously.2011A&A...533A..33Zhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/533/A33CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toB/chandra : The Chandra Archive Log (CXC, 1999-)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/533/A33https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/533/A33http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/533/A33https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/533/A33https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/533/A33http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/533/A33GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/533/A33/table6 (All the 185 LMXBs in globulars in our sample)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/533/A33/table6?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/533/A33/table6?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/533/A33/table6?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true263.9485-30.48213890.0055555555555555566/2623 2709 3304 7606 12405 26125 27515 28495 28705 28751 28808 28815 28817 28835 28899 29267 29870 34242 43262 47866https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/533/A33?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/533/A33/table6All the 185 LMXBs in globulars in our sampleSeqSequential numbermeta.id;meta.mainintrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
