III. Chandra and Hubble space telescope observations of low-mass X-ray binaries and globular clusters in M87. Jordan A., Cote P., Ferrarese L., Blakeslee J.P., Mei S., Merritt D., Milosavljevic M., Peng E.W., Tonry J.L., West M.J. <Astrophys. J., 613, 279-301 (2004)> =2004ApJ...613..279J ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Clusters, galaxy ; Surveys ; Binaries, X-ray ; Clusters, globular Mission_Name: Chandra Keywords: galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD - galaxies: individual (M87) - galaxies: star clusters - globular clusters: general - X-rays: binaries Abstract: The ACIS instrument on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory has been used to carry out the first systematic study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in M87, the giant elliptical galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo Cluster. These images - with a total exposure time of 154 ks - are the deepest X-ray observations yet obtained of M87. We identify 174 X-ray point sources, of which 150 are likely LMXBs. Description: M87 (NGC 4486) was observed with the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) for 121ks on 2002 July 5-6. In what follows, we use only the S3 chip data. In addition, we used 38ks of archival ACIS observations of M87 taken on 2000 July 29.
