A Survey of Massive Star Clusters in the X-ray Emission from Spiral Galaxies

Eric M. Schlegel, SAO

The massive star clusters identified by S. Larsen are compared to the available Chandra observations of face-on spiral galaxies. In each galaxy, a few percent of the Larsen-identified clusters match X-ray-emitting point sources. An additional few match knots of emission in the diffuse emission. The cluster properties are examined to ascertain whether massive star clusters are X-ray sources.
