XMM-Newton and chandra observations of neutron stars and cataclysmic variables in the globular cluster NGC 2808
We report on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the globular cluster NGC 2808. We detect one quiescent low mass X-ray binary of the 3±1 expected, if these systems are formed through encounters, and we show evidence for the presence of 20±10 bright cataclysmic variables in the core with a luminosity above 4×1031 erg s?1. We also review the specific nature of cataclysmic variables in globular clusters with reference to recent VLT/FORS1 observations of a cataclysmic variable in M 22

Abstract

We report on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the globular cluster NGC 2808. We detect one quiescent low mass X-ray binary of the 3±1 expected, if these systems are formed through encounters, and we show evidence for the presence of 20±10 bright cataclysmic variables in the core with a luminosity above 4×1031 erg s?1. We also review the specific nature of cataclysmic variables in globular clusters with reference to recent VLT/FORS1 observations of a cataclysmic variable in M 22
