<i>Chandra</i>X‐Ray Observations of the X‐Ray Faint Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4697
A Chandra ACIS S3 observation of the X-ray faint elliptical galaxy NGC 4697 resolves much of the X-ray emission (61% of the counts from within one effective radius) into 90 point sources, of which ~80 are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) associated with this galaxy.
