Do Neutron stars Or Black Holes Dominate The X-ray Binary Population Of The Youngest Starburst Galaxies?
We report on our year-long (2009-'10) campaign with the Chandra X-ray observatory, to capture the transient X-ray binary (XRB) population in the nearby starburst galaxy IC10 in Cassiopeia. Together with archival data, the study includes 225 ksec of Chandra exposure for a limiting luminosity depth of logLX>35 sensitive to high-mass XRBs containing
