Description
The Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) are among the nearest and most well-known interacting galaxy systems, making them an ideal laboratory for studying star formation and X-ray source populations in merging environments. In this work, we aim to combine Chandra,HST, and JWST observations to investigate the relationship between X-ray sources, optically visible star clusters, and dust-obscured infrared counterparts.Chandra data provide the positions and basic properties of X-ray point sources, while HST and JWST offer complementary views of stellar populations and embedded star-forming regions at optical and infrared wavelengths. By cross-matching sources across these datasets, we seek to identify possible counterparts of X-ray binaries and ultraluminous X-ray sources, and to explore how their distributions vary across different regions of the Antennae system. This multiwavelength approach can provide a more complete picture of the connection between X-ray emission, star cluster evolution, and obscured star formation in interacting galaxies.
