We present multi-wavelength characterization of 65 high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in M33. We use the Chandra ACIS survey of M33 (ChASeM33) catalog to select hard X-ray point sources that are spatially coincident with UV-bright…
We have compiled the most complete census of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud with the aim to investigate the formation efficiency of young accreting binaries in its low metallicity environment. In total, we…
We study the relation between high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) population and recent star formation history (SFH) for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Using archival optical SMC observations, we have approximated the color-magnitude diagrams…
Nearby star-forming galaxies offer a unique environment to study the populations of young ($<$100 Myr) accreting binaries. These systems are tracers of past populations of massive stars that heavily affect their immediate environment and…
We present our analysis of high quality high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in M31 selected from point-source optical-counterpart candidates from the Chandra-PHAT survey catalog. We fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of…
We have examined resolved stellar photometry from HST imaging surrounding 18 high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in NGC 300 and NGC 2403 as determined from combined Chandra/HST analysis. We have fit the color-magnitude distribution of…
We present 15 high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in the disk of M31 for which we are able to infer compact object type, spectral type of the donor star, and age using multiwavelength observations from NuSTAR, Chandra, and the Hubble…
In the present work we investigate the link between high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), our nearest star-forming galaxy. Using optical photometric data, we identify the most likely…
We present an analysis of the two-point spatial correlation functions of high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) and young star cluster (YSC) populations in M31 and M33. We find evidence that HMXBs are spatially correlated with YSCs to a higher…
Understanding of the role of X-rays for driving the thermal evolution of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshifts is one of important questions in astrophysics. High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in early stellar populations are prime…
The high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) provide an exciting framework to investigate the evolution of massive stars and the processes behind binary evolution. HMXBs have shown to be good tracers of recent star formation in galaxies and might…
In this paper we present the source list for 3 Chandra observations of the Local Group galaxy M33. The observations are centered on the nucleus and on the star forming region NGC 604. We detect a total of 261 sources in an area of \~0.2…
Based on a homogeneous set of X-ray, infrared and ultraviolet observations from Chandra, Spitzer, GALEX and 2MASS archives, we study populations of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in a sample of 29 nearby star-forming galaxies and their…
We present direct constraints on how the formation of low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations in galactic fields depends on stellar age. In this pilot study, we utilize Chandra and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data to detect and…
Using Chandra, XMM-Newton, and optical photometric catalogs we study the young X-ray binary (XRB) populations of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We find that the Be/X-ray binaries (Be-XRBs) are observed in regions with star formation rate…
We have constructed color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for ten globular clusters in the halo of the nearby spiral galaxy M33 based on Hubble Space Telescope Wide-Field Planetary Camera 2 observations in the F555W (~V) and F814W (~I) filters.…
We present the first direct measurement of the spatial cross-correlation function of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and active OB star-forming complexes in the Milky Way. This result relied on a sample containing 79 hard X-ray selected…
We characterize the optical counterparts to the compact X-ray source population within the nearby spiral galaxy M81 using multi-band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging data. By comparing the optical luminosities and colors measured for…
The first astrophysical objects shaped the cosmic environment by reionizing and heating the intergalactic medium (IGM). In particular, X-rays are very efficient at heating the IGM before it became completely ionized, an effect that can be…
We report the discovery of a very young high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) system associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) MCSNRJ0513-6724 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using XMM-Newton X-ray observations. The HMXB is located at the…
