Compact star clusters found in the centers of galaxies tend to be dense, massive, and comprised of multiple generations of stars. The formation of such clusters may be linked to the formation of supermassive black holes in galaxy nuclei. X-rays provide one means of detecting a supermassive black hole associated with a nuclear cluster. The Scd galaxy NGC 2139 has a compact star cluster at its center with unusual characteristics suggesting that it may be representative of the early evolution of nuclear star clusters. In this presentation we report Chandra Observatory results bearing on the presence of a central black hole and other sources undergoing accretion in NGC 2139.
