The Nature of the Bright ULX X-2 in NGC 3921: A Chandra Position and HST Candidate Counterpart

The Nature of the Bright ULX X-2 in NGC 3921: A Chandra Position and HST Candidate Counterpart

We report on Chandra observations of the bright ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) source in NGC 3921. Previous XMM-Newton observations reported in the literature show the presence of a bright ULX at a 0.5-10 keV luminosity of 2 × 10^40 erg/s. Our Chandra observation finds the source at a lower luminosity of...
