VizieR Online Data Catalog: M83 X-ray binary classifications from HST (Hunt+, 2021)

In this work, we present a fully classified catalog of X-ray sources in M83 that builds upon the deep Chandra ACIS imaging data published in Lehmer+ 2019 (J/ApJS/243/3). Out of a total of 456 pointlike sources brighter than 10³⁵erg/s, we restrict our analysis to the 325 objects that fall within the M83 HST footprint.

HST observations of M83 were taken with the WFC3/UVIS instrument, spanning seven fields that each cover approximately 162"x162" for a total mosaic area of ~43arcmin². All observations were obtained between 2009 August and 2012 September by R. O'Connell (Prop ID. 11360) and W. Blair (Prop ID. 12513), with exposure times ranging from ~1.2 to 2.7ks for each image. Images were downloaded from the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA). In general, BVI images are created using the F438W, F547M, and F814W filters. The central field, which includes the galaxy nucleus, uses the broader F555W V-band filter, rather than F547M. We also use U-band images (F336W) to help calculate cluster ages (see Section 2).
