Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are faint X-ray sources commonly observed in Galactic globular clusters (GCs). In this work, we investigate 18 MSPs newly found in the GC Omega Centauri ($\omega$ Cen) and search for their X-ray counterparts using…

We report the search for low-mass X-ray binaries in quiescence (qLMXBs) in the globular cluster NGC 6304 using XMM observations. We present the spectral analysis leading to the identification of three candidate qLMXBs within the field of…

We present a deep ($\sim 330~\mathrm{ks}$) {\it Chandra} survey of the Galactic globular cluster M30 (NGC 7099). Combining the new Cycle 18 with the previous Cycle 3 observations we report a total of 10 new X-ray point sources within the…

We present new Chandra X-ray observations of the luminous X-ray cluster, MS0451.6-0305, at z=0.5386. Spectral imaging data for the cluster are consistent with an isothermal cluster of 10.0 - 10.6 +/-1.6 keV and an Fe abundance of 0.32-0.40…

We present the results of two Chandra observations (separated by 1 year) of the population of X-ray sources in the spiral galaxy M51 (NGC 5194 and NGC 5195). 113 X-ray sources have been detected in an 8'.4x8'.4 region. Nine and 28 sources…

We present Chandra studies of the X-ray binary (XRB) populations in the bulge and ring regions of the ring galaxy NGC 1291. We detect 169 X-ray point sources in the galaxy, 75 in the bulge and 71 in the ring, utilizing the four available…

We report on our search for distant clusters of galaxies based on optical and X-ray follow up observations of X-ray candidates from the SHARC survey. Based on the assumption that the absence of bright optical or radio counterparts to…

We present results of a Chandra survey of the ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULX) in 13 normal galaxies, in which we combine source detection with X-ray flux measurement. 22 ULX were detected, i.e. with L_x > 1 x 10^{39} erg s^{-1} (L_10),…

We investigate low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the M31 globular cluster (GC) system using data from the 2XMMi catalogue. These X-ray data are based on all publicly available XMM-Newton observations of the galaxy. This new survey provides…

The advanced capabilities of the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories mean that, for the first time, the detailed study of the brightest point-like X-ray sources in nearby galaxies outside of the local group is a realistic aim. Here, we…

We present the X-ray point source population of NGC 7457 based on 124 ks of Chandra observations. Previous deep Chandra observations of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in early-type galaxies have typically targeted the large populations of…

We have identified 127 discrete sources in a Chandra observation of M83, with a detection limit of ~ 3 x 10^{36} erg/s in the 0.3-8.0 keV band. We discuss the individual properties of about 20 bright sources with L_x >~ 10^{38} erg/s, and…

We present the first study of the X-ray population of the intermediate-age rich open cluster NGC 6819 using the XMM-Newton Observatory. In the past decade, Chandra X-ray observations have shown a relationship between the X-ray population of…

Based on archival {\it Chandra} observations with a total exposure of 1.3 Ms, we study X-ray point sources in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, with the primary aim of searching for intra-cluster X-ray source populations. We detect 1177 point…

We analyse a Chandra observation of the rich globular cluster NGC 362, finding 33 X-ray sources within 1' (1.2 half-mass radii) of the cluster center. Spectral analysis of the brightest source (X1) shows blackbody-like emission, indicating…

We present the diffuse X-ray emission identified in Chandra observations of the young, massive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1. After removing point-like X-ray sources down to a completeness limit of 2e31 erg/s, we identify 3e34 erg/s…

We present the X-ray point source population in the nearby Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4636 from 3 Chandra/ACIS observations, totaling 193 ks, taken over 3 years. Using wavelet decomposition, we detect 318 point sources. Here, we use a…

This paper presents the analysis of candidate quiescent low mass xray binarie (qLMXBs) observed during a short Chandra/ACIS observation of the globular cluster (GC) NGC 6304. Two out of the three candidate qLMXBs of this cluster, XMMU…

Luminous X-ray binaries (>1E34 erg/s, LMXBs) have a neutron star or black hole primary, and in globular clusters, most of these close binaries are expected to be have evolved from wider binaries through dynamical interactions with other…

We have discovered with XMM-Newton an X-ray source in the core of the globular cluster M13, whose X-ray spectral properties suggest that it is a quiescent neutron star X-ray binary. The spectrum can be well fitted with a pure hydrogen…
