Description
We present results from a 47ks observation of the Andromeda galaxy, M31, using the High Resolution Camera of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We detect 142 point sources spanning 3 orders of magnitude in luminosity, from L_X_=2x10^35^ to 2x10^38^erg/s in the 0.1-10keV band. The X-ray source location accuracy is better than 1" in the central regions of the galaxy. One source lies within 1.3" of SN 1885 but does not coincide with the UV absorption feature identified as the supernova remnant.
