Probing the low mass X-ray binaries/globular cluster connection in NGC1399

2010 
We present a wide field study of the Globular Clusters/Low Mass X‐ray Binaries connection in the cD elliptical NGC1399, combining HST/ACS and Chandra high resolution data. We find evidence that LMXB formation likelihood is influenced by GCs structural parameters, in addition to the well known effects of mass and metallicity, independently from galactocentric distance.
