Edmonds. 2007. “ChandraX‐Ray Sources in the Collapsed‐Core Globular Cluster M30 (NGC 7099).” The Astrophysical Journal 657 (1): 286–301. https://doi.org/10.1086/507572.0004-637X1538-4357http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:41399948We report the detection of six discrete, low-luminosity (L-X < 10(33) ergs s(-1)) X- ray sources, located within 12" of the center of the collapsed-core globular cluster M30 (NGC 7099), and a total of 13 sources within the half-mass radius, from a 50 ks Chandra ACIS-S exposure. Three sources lie within the very small upper limit of 1.9" on the core radius. The brightest of the three core sources has a luminosity of L-X(0.5-6 keV) approximate to 6 x 10(32) ergs s(-1) and a blackbody-like soft X-ray spectrum, which are both consistent with it being a quiescent low-mass X-ray binary (qLMXB). We have identified optical counterparts to four of the six central sources and a number of the outlying sources, using deep Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based imaging. While the two proposed counterparts that lie within the core may represent chance superpositions, the two identified central sources that lie outside of the core have X- ray and optical properties consistent with being cataclysmic variables (CVs). Two additional sources outside of the core have possible active binary counterparts. We discuss the X-ray source population of M30 in light of its collapsed-core status.en-USJournal Article2019-09-2510.1086/507572
