Abstract
AbstractWe present initial results on a survey of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the nearby, star-forming spiral galaxy M33. The HMXB population in M33 is identified and characterized using a combination of deep Chandra X-ray imaging and archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. We determine ages for the HMXBs to ~5 Myr precision from fits to the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of the surrounding stars and the resultant star formation histories (SFHs). The HMXBs in our M33 sample have measured ages, as well as candidate optical counterparts identified from HST photometry.
