Abstract:We present X-ray analysis of three short Chandra observations of M87. The basis of this analysis is the search for possible new ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in M87's globular clusters (GCs) and attempt to quantify possible variability within the observations. We searched Chandra ObsIDs 1808 (2000 July 30, 14 ks) Wilson & Yang, 3975 (2002 November 17, 5 ks) and 3977 (2003 February 4, 5 ks) Harris et al. and identified one previously discovered GC ULX, and two new GC ULX candidates. Analysis of the lig… Show more
