Chandra observation of NGC 4449: analysis of the X-ray emission from a dwarf starburst galaxy.

Abstract (from CDS):
The arcsecond resolution of Chandra has detected 24 X-ray point sources down to a completeness level corresponding to a flux of ∼2x10–14 erg/s/cm2, within the optical extent of NGC 4449 and analysis of their spectra has shown them to be from at least three different classes of object. As well as the known supernova remnant in this galaxy, it also harbours several X-ray binaries and supersoft sources. The point source X-ray luminosity function, for the higher-luminosity sources, has a slope of ~-0.51, comparable to those of other starburst galaxies.
