Extra-Galactic X-Ray Binaries

Scientific paper

We present the results of Chandra ACIS-S observations of the nearby face-on spiral galaxy, M101. We present spectra and light curves of five bright X-ray sources that can be described as bright black hole binaries in M101. The brightest source detected (P098), however, does not fit the norm, although it, too, is likely to be a black hole binary in M101. We argue that the observed X-ray photons may have been scattered in an outflow, rather than originating in the accretion disk. We also compare the X-ray binary population of M101 with that of the Milky Way.
