Extragalactic X-ray Binary Catalog

Extragalactic X-ray Binary Catalog described in Inoue, Yabe, & Ueda 2021 PASJ

Introduction

We construct a new catalog of extragalactic X-ray binaries (XRBs) utilizing the latest Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift X-ray source catalogs by matching with the local galaxy catalogs. Our fiducial catalog including Chandra sources only contains 4430 XRBs hosted by 237 galaxies within ~130 Mpc. Utilizing the latest XMM-Newton, and Swift X-ray source catalog data sets, additional XRB candidates are also found resulting in 5757 XRBs hosted by 311 galaxies.
