High-Resolution X-ray Imaging of a Globular Cluster Core: Compact Binaries in 47Tuc.

Evaluates high-resolution X-ray images of a globular cluster core to study the population of compact binaries in the high stellar density core in the Milky Way Galaxy. Source distribution and identification; Implications for population of compact objects, binaries, and cluster core; Understanding that binary heating prevents core collapse into a moderately massive central black hole.
